Why getPositionTiers needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries existing position tier configuration data from the Bybit exchange. It performs a read-only operation that returns informational metadata about trading tiers. No data is created, modified, deleted, or financial transactions are executed. Misuse would have minimal impact as it only exposes existing, non-sensitive tier structures already known to the trading platform.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getPositionTiers' and description 'Query position tier data' — uses 'Query' verb indicating data retrieval with no modification.

POLICY

How to control getPositionTiers

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 getPositionTiers:

policy.json

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

getPositionTiers 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.
