WHAT IT DOES

What chart_set_type does on TradingView MCP Server

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

RISK

Why chart_set_type is rated Medium

This tool changes the chart type (e.g., candlestick, line, bar) in TradingView Desktop. It modifies the chart's display setting reversibly — the chart type can be changed back at any time. No data is deleted, no code is executed, and no financial transactions occur. It's a reversible UI/configuration change, making it a Write action with low severity.

From the tool's definition 'Change chart type' — modifies the visual presentation of a chart

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs chart_set_type safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and TradingView MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For chart_set_type, this is the rule to start with:

chart_set_type Rate-limited

chart_set_type stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
