AI agents call get_order_history 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 past order data without modifying, deleting, or executing any trading operations. It is a read-only data retrieval function. Given the financial context (Bybit exchange), the low severity reflects that unauthorized access to order history alone does not enable direct financial harm — it is informational.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_order_history' and description states it retrieves 'historical (closed/cancelled/filled) orders' — a pure data retrieval operation with no side effects.

Register the Bybit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_order_history: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Bybit. Nothing to install.
get_order_history is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_order_history rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
