Why createRfq needs a policy

This tool creates a new RFQ, which is a reversible write operation that generates a new record/request in the trading system. While it initiates a financial interaction, it does not directly move money or execute trades; it solicits quotes. The Write category is appropriate as it creates new data structures.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new Request for Quote (RFQ)' and specifies that 'The inquirer specifies one or more legs (instruments) and a list of counterparties to receive the RFQ.' This creates a new financial instrument request that modifies state on…

How to control createRfq

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 createRfq:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "createRfq": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "createrfq_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

createRfq stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Bybit MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
