## Why queryBrokerCap is rated Low

This tool retrieves account-level rate limit and cap information for broker accounts. It performs a read-only query ('Get') without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or moving funds. The restrictions (Main UIDs, exchange broker accounts only) are access controls, not indicators of write or destructive capabilities.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'queryBrokerCap' and description 'Get your exchange broker account entity total rate limit usage and cap' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call queryBrokerCap 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
