What ui_click does on TradingView MCP Bridge
AI agents invoke ui_click to trigger actions in TradingView MCP Bridge. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why ui_click is rated High
This tool triggers arbitrary UI interactions within TradingView Desktop by simulating clicks on UI elements. The effects depend entirely on what element is clicked — it could trigger trades, modify settings, delete data, or perform any action available in the UI. This qualifies as Execute due to its ability to trigger external operations with effects that depend on arguments.
