AI agents use chart_set_type to create or update resources in TradingView MCP Bridge — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your TradingView MCP Bridge environment.
This tool modifies the visual representation of a chart by changing its type (e.g., candlestick, bar, line). It is a reversible configuration change with no destructive, financial, or execution implications. Misuse could disrupt an analyst's workflow but has limited blast radius.
From the tool's definition 'Change chart type' — modifies the chart's display configuration
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access chart_set_type gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and TradingView MCP Bridge, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for chart_set_type:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"chart_set_type": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "chart_set_type_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}chart_set_type stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Change chart type. It is categorised as a Write tool in the TradingView MCP Bridge MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the TradingView MCP Bridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for chart_set_type: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches TradingView MCP Bridge. Nothing to install.
chart_set_type is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the chart_set_type rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for chart_set_type. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
chart_set_type is provided by the TradingView MCP Bridge MCP server (tradesdontlie/tradingview-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
