What layout_list does on TradingView MCP Bridge
AI agents call layout_list to retrieve information from TradingView MCP Bridge without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why layout_list is rated Low
This tool retrieves and enumerates saved chart layouts from the TradingView application. It performs a read-only query with no capability to modify, delete, or execute code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only gain visibility into which layouts exist, not access sensitive financial data or perform destructive actions. Even in an agent context, listing layouts poses negligible security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'layout_list' and description 'List saved chart layouts' indicate a query operation that retrieves existing layout data without modification or side effects.
