What subMemberListQuery does on Bybit MCP Server

AI agents call subMemberListQuery to retrieve information from Bybit MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why subMemberListQuery needs a policy

This is a Read operation as it retrieves account structure and permission metadata without creating, modifying, or deleting data. Severity is elevated to medium rather than low because the information returned (sub-account UIDs and universal transfer permissions) could facilitate unauthorized transfers or account takeover if exposed to an attacker, though the tool itself performs no destructive action.

From the tool's definition Tool performs a query operation ('subMemberListQuery') that retrieves sub UIDs and transfer permissions. The description explicitly states 'Query' and 'Returns,' indicating data retrieval with no modification or deletion.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access subMemberListQuery gives an agent:

How to control subMemberListQuery

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 subMemberListQuery:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "subMemberListQuery": {}
  }
}

subMemberListQuery is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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