AI agents call get_trade_history 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.
Despite the empty description, the naming pattern and context of sibling tools (all prefixed with 'get_') indicate this retrieves historical trading data from the Bybit exchange without modifying or executing operations. No side effects or irreversible actions are implied.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_trade_history' indicates data retrieval; consistent with sibling tools (get_account_info, get_closed_pnl, get_coin_balance, get_kline, etc.) which are all read-only queries. The 'get_' prefix strongly suggests retrieval without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_trade_history. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Bybit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Bybit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_trade_history: 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. Nothing to install.
get_trade_history 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_trade_history 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_trade_history. 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_trade_history is provided by the Bybit MCP server (workspace/bybit-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
