WHAT IT DOES

What tv_launch does on TradingView MCP Server

AI agents invoke tv_launch 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 tv_launch is rated High

This tool launches a desktop application with remote debugging enabled, granting programmatic control over TradingView's interface and operations. While launching an app is not inherently destructive, enabling Chrome DevTools Protocol allows arbitrary inspection and manipulation of the application state, DOM, and execution context.

From the tool's definition Tool 'Launch TradingView Desktop with Chrome DevTools Protocol (remote debugging) enabled' triggers execution of an external application with remote debugging capabilities enabled, which grants the ability to instrument and control the application's behavior.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs tv_launch 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 tv_launch, this is the rule to start with:

tv_launch Rate-limited

tv_launch 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.
