AI agents call get_smp_group 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 a Self Match Prevention group ID, which is a read-only query of existing account or exchange configuration data. It has no side effects, does not execute orders, and does not move funds or modify any state.
