Critical Risk

Why SmallAssetConvert needs a policy

Asset conversion on a crypto exchange constitutes a financial operation: it exchanges one asset for another at a given quote, moving value and incurring market exposure. This is irreversible once executed (async confirmation), placing it firmly in the Financial category, which supersedes all others.

From the tool's definition "Confirm and execute small asset conversion using the quoteId" — this tool executes a currency/asset conversion on a live cryptocurrency exchange (Bybit), committing a financial transaction.

How to control SmallAssetConvert

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 SmallAssetConvert:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "SmallAssetConvert": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to SmallAssetConvert is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
