AI agents call get_long_short_ratio to retrieve information from Bybit without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries existing account metrics (long/short ratio) and returns informational data. There are no side effects, no code execution, no financial transactions, and no data modification. It poses minimal risk as misuse would only expose market sentiment information already accessible to the account holder.
From the tool's definition get_long_short_ratio retrieves account ratio data without modifying or executing any operations. The verb 'get' and lack of any mutation language (create, update, delete, execute) clearly indicate a data retrieval function.
