What getTransactionLog does on Bybit MCP Server

Why getTransactionLog needs a policy

This is a straightforward read-only query tool that retrieves account transaction history without any side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The ability to filter historical transaction data over specified time ranges presents only low risk of misuse, as it cannot alter account state or initiate new transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states: "Query unified account wallet transaction logs" and "retrieve detailed wallet transaction history." The tool only queries and retrieves historical data with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

How to control getTransactionLog

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 getTransactionLog:

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

getTransactionLog 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.
