## Why movePosition is rated High

This tool transfers/moves trading positions between accounts, which is an external financial operation on a cryptocurrency exchange. While it doesn't directly move money, it repositions financial instruments (linear, inverse, spot, options) between accounts.

From the tool's own definition: "Transfer positions between two unified trading accounts (UIDs) without fees... move positions between sub-accounts. Requires master API key."

## Use case

AI agents invoke movePosition to trigger actions in Bybit MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
