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 needs a policy

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').

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access confirmNewRiskLimit gives an agent:

How to control confirmNewRiskLimit

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Bybit MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for confirmNewRiskLimit:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "confirmNewRiskLimit": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "confirmnewrisklimit_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

confirmNewRiskLimit stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
