It returns informational data about what APIs exist and their capabilities, with no side effects, state changes, code execution, or data modification. This is a classic Read operation with minimal blast radius—knowledge of available endpoints alone cannot cause harm without subsequent misuse of those endpoints through other tools.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'tv_discover' and description 'Report which known TradingView API paths are available and their methods' indicate a discovery/enumeration function that retrieves information about available API endpoints without modifying any data.
