What getSmpGroup does on Bybit MCP Server

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

Why getSmpGroup needs a policy

This tool queries and returns account metadata (SMP group ID) without modifying, deleting, executing operations, or creating financial obligations. It is a read-only information retrieval function with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition "Query the Self-Matching Prevention (SMP) group ID associated with the account" — retrieves account group assignment data with no side effects. "Returns smpGroup as an integer" confirms data retrieval. "No parameters needed" indicates a simple lookup.

How to control getSmpGroup

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 getSmpGroup:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getSmpGroup": {}
  }
}

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

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