WHAT IT DOES

What pine_set_source does on TradingView MCP Bridge

AI agents use pine_set_source to create or update resources in TradingView MCP Bridge, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your TradingView MCP Bridge environment.

RISK

Why pine_set_source is rated Medium

The tool creates or modifies Pine Script source code, which is reversible (the code can be edited or reverted). It does not execute the script, delete data irreversibly, or move money. While Pine Scripts can affect trading behavior when executed, the tool itself only modifies the source text in the editor.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Set Pine Script source code in the editor' — this is a write operation that modifies code content in the TradingView editor.
