Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getIndexPriceComponents safely

getIndexPriceComponents is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Bybit MCP Server, apply this rule, and every getIndexPriceComponents call is checked against it from then on.
