Get API key information
AI agents call get_api_key_information to retrieve information from Bybit MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves API key metadata and related information from the Bybit exchange account. While categorized as Read (query/retrieval with no side effects), the severity is high because API key information is sensitive credential material that could enable account compromise if exposed to an attacker.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_api_key_information' and description 'Get API key information' indicate retrieval of sensitive credential/authentication data without modification.
