AI agents call get_tickers 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 public market information (price tickers) from the Bybit exchange. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code or commands, and does not involve financial transactions. It is purely a data query operation, making it a Read-category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_tickers' and description 'Get latest price ticker for a symbol' indicate a query operation that retrieves current market data without modifying state or executing external operations.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_tickers 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_tickers. 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.
