AI agents call get_risk_limit 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 retrieves (gets) risk limit data for a trading symbol. No write, execute, destructive, or financial operations occur. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only gain knowledge of risk limits, which is informational only and does not affect account position, funds, or orders.
