Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access setTradingStop gives an agent:
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 setTradingStop:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"setTradingStop": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "settradingstop_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}setTradingStop stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
