This tool retrieves historical trade data from TradingView's backtesting engine for analysis purposes. It has no side effects, does not execute trades, does not modify data, and does not trigger financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only read existing trade history, not affect positions, accounts, or real money. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'data_get_trades' and description states 'Get trade list from Strategy Tester' — a retrieval operation with no modification or execution of trades.

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 data_get_trades:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "data_get_trades": {}
  }
}

data_get_trades is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register TradingView MCP Bridge — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
