## Why getIndexPriceComponents is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries market data about index price components with no side effects. It is informational only—useful for understanding market structure but cannot execute trades, modify positions, or affect financial obligations. The 'Retrieve' verb and read-only nature clearly categorize it as Read.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getIndexPriceComponents' and description explicitly states 'Retrieve the component exchanges and trading pairs' with use cases focused on understanding, investigating, and researching index price composition."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Bybit MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getIndexPriceComponents": {}
  }
}
```
