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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "watchlist_add",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why watchlist_add is rated Medium

The tool creates or modifies watchlist state by appending a symbol, which is reversible and has no side effects beyond the watchlist itself. It does not delete data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), trigger financial transactions (not Financial), or retrieve data (not Read). The blast radius is low since adding a symbol to a watchlist is benign and easily undone.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'watchlist_add' and description 'Add a symbol to the TradingView watchlist' indicate a create/modify operation that adds data to a watchlist. This is a reversible write operation—symbols can be removed later."

## Use case

AI agents use watchlist_add to create or update resources in TradingView MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your TradingView MCP Server environment.
