## Why symbol_search is rated Low

This tool performs a search operation to retrieve symbol data matching user-provided search terms. It is informational only, does not modify state, execute code, or cause destructive operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve unwanted symbol information, which has no material impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'symbol_search' and description 'Search for symbols by name or keyword' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call symbol_search 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_search": {}
  }
}
```
