Why getOpenOrders needs a policy

This tool retrieves information about open orders from the Bybit exchange. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute trades — it only reads order status data. The query operation is read-only and produces no side effects on the exchange state. Even if an AI agent calls this tool repeatedly or with various parameters, no financial transactions or account changes occur.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'getOpenOrders' and description states 'Query real-time unfilled or partially filled orders' — uses the verb 'Query' which indicates data retrieval with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control getOpenOrders

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 getOpenOrders:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getOpenOrders": {}
  }
}

getOpenOrders is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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