Get position information
AI agents call get_positions 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 current position data from the Bybit exchange for viewing/analysis purposes only. There are no side effects, no data modification, and no execution of trades or financial transactions. It is a simple query operation, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_positions' and description 'Get position information' indicate data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'get' is explicitly listed as a Read operation in the classification rules.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get position information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Bybit MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Bybit MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_positions: 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.
get_positions 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_positions 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_positions. 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.
get_positions 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.
