replay_autoplay · Tradingview MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What replay_autoplay does on Tradingview

AI agents invoke replay_autoplay to trigger actions in Tradingview. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why replay_autoplay needs a policy

This tool triggers an external operation within the TradingView Desktop app via Chrome DevTools Protocol — it controls playback state and speed in replay mode. It doesn't merely read data, nor does it write/delete persistent data; it executes an action that affects the running application's behavior. Misuse could disrupt chart analysis workflows but has limited blast radius.

Verdict

replay_autoplay Rate-limited

replay_autoplay 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.
