AI agents call getSpotBorrowQuota 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.
This tool retrieves account borrowing quota information for spot margin trading. It queries existing data (max tradeable quantity, borrowable status) and returns informational results. There are no side effects, no state modifications, no code execution, and no financial transactions. The tool is explicitly designed for checking limits before trading, not for executing trades themselves.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'getSpotBorrowQuota' and description states 'Query the borrowing quota' and 'Returns max tradeable quantity/amount' — these are read operations that retrieve data about borrowing limits without modifying any state or executing trades.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getSpotBorrowQuota gives an agent:
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 getSpotBorrowQuota:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getSpotBorrowQuota": {}
}
}getSpotBorrowQuota is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
