## Why get_open_orders is rated Low

This tool queries and returns data about existing orders without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing trades. It is a read-only operation with no side effects on account state or financial positions. The low severity reflects minimal harm if misused by an agent, as it only exposes existing order information without enabling transactions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_open_orders' and description 'Get list of open/active orders' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of state."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
