WHAT IT DOES

What pane_focus does on TradingView MCP Server

AI agents invoke pane_focus to trigger actions in TradingView MCP Server. 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.

RISK

Why pane_focus is rated High

This tool triggers a UI interaction (focusing a chart pane) in the TradingView Desktop application via Chrome DevTools Protocol. It's an external operation that manipulates the application state, classifying it as Execute. The blast radius is low as it only changes which pane is focused without modifying data or financial operations.

pane_focus Rate-limited

pane_focus stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
