List active alerts
AI agents call alert_list to retrieve information from TradingView MCP Bridge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation—it retrieves and displays a list of active alerts from TradingView. There are no side effects, no data modifications, no code execution, and no financial transactions involved. While it's part of a trading platform, merely listing alerts poses minimal risk and falls clearly into the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'alert_list' and description 'List active alerts' indicate a query operation that retrieves existing alert data without modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
