What wsAmendOrder does on Bybit MCP Server
AI agents invoke wsAmendOrder to trigger actions in Bybit MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why wsAmendOrder is rated High

While it doesn't directly move money, it modifies active market orders which can have significant financial consequences. It falls under Execute because it triggers external operations (order modification) whose effects depend on arguments (symbol, side, quantity, price).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs wsAmendOrder safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Bybit MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For wsAmendOrder, this is the rule to start with:
wsAmendOrder 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Bybit MCP Server, apply this rule, and every wsAmendOrder call is checked against it from then on.
