What getAccountInfo does on Bybit MCP Server

AI agents call getAccountInfo to retrieve information from Bybit MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why getAccountInfo needs a policy

This tool only queries and retrieves existing account information without side effects. It returns read-only configuration data (marginMode, account status, UTA version) to inform downstream decisions. While it provides sensitive account details, it does not execute trades, modify settings, transfer funds, or delete data, classifying it unambiguously as a Read operation with low severity risk.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves account configuration including margin mode, account status, and feature settings with no parameters required. Description explicitly states it is used to 'check account configuration' before operations.

How to control getAccountInfo

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 getAccountInfo:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getAccountInfo": {}
  }
}

getAccountInfo is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
