WHAT IT DOES

What cancelAllOrders does on Bybit MCP Server

AI agents call cancelAllOrders to permanently remove resources in Bybit MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why cancelAllOrders is rated Critical

Cancelling orders is irreversible in the sense that the orders are permanently removed. A bulk cancellation ('all orders') has a high blast radius as it could cancel all active trading positions simultaneously, disrupting trading strategies and potentially causing financial harm.

From the tool's definition 'Cancel all open orders' — cancels all open orders matching specified criteria, which is an irreversible bulk action that cannot be undone

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs cancelAllOrders safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Bybit MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cancelAllOrders, this is the rule to start with:

cancelAllOrders Hidden

cancelAllOrders is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
