## Why set_margin_mode is rated Medium

This tool modifies account margin settings, which affects trading behavior and risk exposure but is reversible. It does not execute trades (Execute), delete data (Destructive), or move money directly (Financial). The change is a configuration write to account state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'set_margin_mode' and description 'Set account margin mode' indicate modification of account settings."

## Use case

AI agents use set_margin_mode to create or update resources in Bybit, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Bybit environment.
