What replay_start does on TradingView MCP Server
AI agents invoke replay_start 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.
Why replay_start is rated High
This tool executes a command that initiates a replay simulation mode in TradingView, which changes the application state and triggers chart playback operations. While it does not permanently delete or create persistent data, it is an Execute action because it activates a complex external operation whose effects (replay speed, data visualization, timing) depend on runtime arguments and application interaction.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'replay_start' and description 'Start bar replay mode, optionally at a specific date' indicate activation of a mode that controls TradingView's chart playback/simulation behavior.

replay_start 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect TradingView MCP Server, apply this rule, and every replay_start call is checked against it from then on.
