## Why queryReferrals is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about referral users associated with an account. It is a read-only query that returns existing data with no side effects. While it operates on a financial exchange (Bybit), it does not move money or commit financial obligations—it merely lists referral relationships. The blast radius of misuse is low, as unauthorized queries cannot cause irreversible damage or financial loss.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs a query operation to retrieve referral data: 'Query invited users (referrals) for the authenticated account.' No modifications, deletions, or financial transactions are performed."

## Use case

AI agents call queryReferrals 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)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Bybit MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "queryReferrals": {}
  }
}
```
