Cancel order
AI agents call cancel_order to permanently remove resources in Bybit MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Cancelling an order cannot be undone; once cancelled, the order is permanently removed from the order book. While it doesn't move money directly, it irreversibly destroys an existing trading intent/commitment. On a live trading platform this has significant financial impact (missed trades, market exposure changes), making it Destructive with high severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'cancel_order' and description 'Cancel order' — cancelling an order is an irreversible action that terminates an existing financial order on the exchange.

Cancel order. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Bybit MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Bybit MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cancel_order: 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 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
cancel_order is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cancel_order 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 cancel_order. 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.
cancel_order is provided by the Bybit MCP Server MCP server (kondisettyravi/mcp-bybit-node). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
