WHAT IT DOES

What setDefaultDepositToAccount does on Bybit MCP Server

AI agents use setDefaultDepositToAccount 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.

RISK

Why setDefaultDepositToAccount is rated Medium

This tool modifies account configuration (default deposit destination) which is a reversible write operation. It doesn't move funds directly but changes where future deposits are routed, which could have significant financial implications if misconfigured. Severity is medium because it affects fund routing but doesn't directly move money or delete data.
