## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "symbol_info",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why symbol_info is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries metadata about a financial symbol without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk—the worst misuse would be retrieving information about an unintended symbol, which has no side effects. Confidence is very high because the description explicitly uses 'Get' language indicating retrieval only.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Get detailed metadata' which is a retrieval operation with no modification. The sibling tools include read-only operations like 'chart_get_state', 'chart_get_visible_range', and 'capture_screenshot', and destructive/write operations…"

## Use case

AI agents call symbol_info to retrieve information from TradingView MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches TradingView MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "symbol_info": {}
  }
}
```
