## Why getWalletBalance is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves wallet balance and asset information from the Bybit exchange. It performs no mutations, transactions, or state changes—merely fetching account balance data. While the Bybit context involves financial data, the tool itself is a read-only query operation that does not move money, execute trades, or modify any account state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getWalletBalance' and description 'Obtain wallet balance, query asset information' indicate a data retrieval operation with no side effects or modifications."

## Use case

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