What delete_sub_uid does on Bybit
AI agents call delete_sub_uid to permanently remove resources in Bybit, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why delete_sub_uid is rated Critical
Deletion of a sub UID is an irreversible action that cannot be undone. It results in permanent loss of an account entity and likely cascading effects on associated permissions, data, and trading activity. This meets the definition of Destructive: 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone'.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_sub_uid' explicitly uses the verb 'delete', and the description states it will 'Delete a sub UID', indicating irreversible removal of a subordinate user account or identity.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_sub_uid safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Bybit, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_sub_uid, this is the rule to start with:
delete_sub_uid is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Bybit, apply this rule, and every delete_sub_uid call is checked against it from then on.
