[RPG] Can you use Shadow Step while tied up

dnd-5emonk

Can you use the Monk skill Shadow Step while tied up or with your hands bound to a wall?

At 6th level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow
into another. When you are in dim light or darkness,
as a bonus action you can teleport up to 60 feet to an
unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light
or darkness. You then have advantage on the first melee
attack you make before the end o f the turn.

As far as I can tell there is no rule that you can't use Shadow Step to get out of that situation.

Yes, you can still use the ability, but it may not release you of your bonds. Ropes tied around you would teleport with you, along with the rest of your clothes and equipment. However, if you were tied to something, you would no longer be attached to it.
