Why getQuotes needs a policy

This tool retrieves historical quote data with filtering and pagination options. There are no side effects, modifications, deletions, execution of code, or financial transactions. It is purely a read operation that queries existing data from the Bybit exchange.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getQuotes' with description 'Query historical quotes' — the verb 'query' combined with 'historical' and 'sorting/pagination' indicates data retrieval only.

POLICY

How to control getQuotes

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 getQuotes:

policy.json

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

getQuotes 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.
