This tool performs a read-only query operation that retrieves account settings for the authenticated user. It fetches existing data with no side effects, no code execution, no destructive actions, and no financial transactions. The low severity reflects that account settings queries pose minimal risk—the worst outcome would be an AI agent reading configuration details, which is generally informational.

How to control getUserSettingConfig

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 getUserSettingConfig:

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

getUserSettingConfig 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.
