AI agents call get_transfer_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.
This tool retrieves historical transfer records from a cryptocurrency exchange account. While it is a Read operation (no side effects), the medium severity reflects that transfer history may contain sensitive financial information about an account's transaction patterns and balances.
