What getPredictionEngineStatus does on Bybit MCP Server
AI agents call getPredictionEngineStatus 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.
Why getPredictionEngineStatus is rated Low
getPredictionEngineStatus is a read-only query tool that checks the availability status of the prediction market matching engine. It retrieves system state information without performing any side effects, modifications, or triggering trades. The tool is explicitly designed for agents to check engine status before trading, making it a precondition check rather than an action that executes trades or manages funds.
