Why setAutoRepayMode needs a policy

This tool modifies account settings (automatic repayment mode for spot trading) but does not create irreversible changes, execute external code, or move funds directly. It is a configuration change that can be reversed by calling the same tool again with different parameters.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'setAutoRepayMode' indicates modification of account settings; description states 'Set spot automatic repayment mode' which modifies account configuration rather than reading or executing arbitrary operations.

POLICY

How to control setAutoRepayMode

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Bybit MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for setAutoRepayMode:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "setAutoRepayMode": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "setautorepaymode_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

setAutoRepayMode stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Bybit MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
