AI agents call get_vwap to retrieve information from TradingView MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or computes a read-only technical indicator from market data. It performs a calculation and returns a result without side effects, matching the 'Read' category definition. The low severity reflects minimal risk if misused—an AI agent cannot cause harm through price calculations alone.

"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_vwap": {}
}
}get_vwap is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
