Why getVASPList needs a policy

This tool retrieves regulatory/compliance information (a list of Virtual Asset Service Providers) to inform user decisions about withdrawals. It performs a pure read operation with no capability to modify data, execute transactions, delete records, or trigger external actions. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose informational data rather than cause operational or financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Query the list of available VASPs' — a query operation that retrieves data without modification. The description explicitly indicates this is used for compliance checking and information lookup, with no side effects.

How to control getVASPList

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 getVASPList:

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

getVASPList 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.
