Why getCounterpartyUserInfo needs a policy

This is fundamentally a Read operation—it retrieves user information without modifying data. However, severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because the tool accesses PII (personally identifiable information) of counterparty users.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getCounterpartyUserInfo' and description 'Get information about a counterparty user' indicates data retrieval. The agent hint explicitly warns 'it exposes PII of unrelated users,' acknowledging personally identifiable information exposure risk.

How to control getCounterpartyUserInfo

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 getCounterpartyUserInfo:

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

getCounterpartyUserInfo 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.
