What queryTrade does on Bybit MCP Server
AI agents call queryTrade 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.
Why queryTrade is rated Low
queryTrade retrieves trade information without modifying, deleting, or executing any financial transactions. It returns static trade details (status, exchange rate, timestamps) that already exist on the Bybit system. While Bybit is a financial exchange, this particular tool only reads historical trade data rather than moving money or creating new obligations.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Query[s] detailed information and status of a specified trade' and lists use cases including 'Poll for trade status' and 'Display trade details to users'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs queryTrade safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Bybit MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For queryTrade, this is the rule to start with:
queryTrade is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Bybit MCP Server, apply this rule, and every queryTrade call is checked against it from then on.
