WHAT IT DOES

What ui_hover does on TradingView MCP Server

AI agents invoke ui_hover 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 ui_hover is rated High

This tool triggers a browser/UI action (hover) via Chrome DevTools Protocol, which constitutes executing an external operation on the TradingView Desktop interface. While hovering itself has minimal side effects, it can trigger tooltips, dropdowns, or other UI state changes, making it an Execute-category action. Severity is low as hovering rarely causes irreversible or high-impact changes.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

ui_hover Rate-limited

ui_hover 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.
