# closeGridBot

Closes a running spot grid bot. You must specify a close_mode to\ndetermine how remaining assets are settled:\n- 1 (BIT_MODE): settle in BIT\n- 2 (BASE_MODE): convert all to base token\n- 3 (QUOTE_MODE): convert all to quote token\n- 4 (BASE_AND_QUOTE_MODE): return assets as-is, no conversion\n\nThe bot must be in a closeable state (NEW or RUNNING). Bots in\nCANCELLING or COMPLETED state cannot be closed again.\n\nRate limit: 3 qps per UID.\n\nAgent hint: Use close_mode=3 (QUOTE_MODE) if the user wants to cash out to\nstablecoin. Use close_mode=4 if the user wants to keep both tokens.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "closeGridBot",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why closeGridBot is rated High

Closing a grid bot terminates an active trading strategy and triggers asset conversion/settlement. This is a significant exchange operation with real financial side effects (asset conversion, position liquidation), but it is not a direct payment or trade placement. It falls under Execute as it triggers an external operation on the exchange with outcomes depending on arguments (close_mode).

From the tool's own definition: "Closes a running spot grid bot... The bot must be in a closeable state (NEW or RUNNING)... settle remaining assets... convert all to base/quote token"

## Use case

AI agents invoke closeGridBot to trigger actions in Bybit MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Bybit MCP Server:

```json

  "tools": {
    "closeGridBot": {
      "limits": [
        {
