What confirmNewRiskLimit does on Bybit MCP Server
AI agents invoke confirmNewRiskLimit 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.
Why confirmNewRiskLimit is rated High
While this is not destructive (doesn't delete data) or financial (doesn't move money directly), it is an Execute action because it triggers a real effect on the user's trading position—it lifts restrictions that were previously applied by the exchange.
From the tool's definition Tool 'confirmNewRiskLimit' performs an irreversible state change on a trading position by confirming a maintenance margin rate update and removing trading restrictions ('removes the reduce-only restriction').
