AI agents call get_transaction_log 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 historical transaction data from the Bybit exchange without modifying any state, executing code, or committing financial operations. It is a passive read operation on existing records. While transaction logs may contain sensitive financial information, the tool itself performs no dangerous action—it simply queries and returns data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_transaction_log' and description 'Get transaction logs' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution.

get_transaction_log 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_transaction_log 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_transaction_log. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
