Find UI elements by text, aria-label, or CSS selector and return their positions
AI agents call ui_find_element 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 pure information retrieval against the TradingView UI state. It locates DOM elements and returns their positions, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. It does not execute code, modify data, delete anything, or move funds. The operation is analogous to a search or query that returns positional data about existing UI components.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Find UI elements by text, aria-label, or CSS selector and return their positions' — a query operation that retrieves element metadata without modification or execution.
