WHAT IT DOES

What setBrokerApiLimit does on Bybit MCP Server

AI agents use setBrokerApiLimit to create or update resources in Bybit MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Bybit MCP Server environment.

It affects multiple user accounts under a broker structure, making it high severity due to potential service disruption if misused (e.g., setting limits to 0 could block legitimate trading).

The rule that runs setBrokerApiLimit safely

setBrokerApiLimit Rate-limited

setBrokerApiLimit 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.
