Stop replay and return to realtime

How to control replay_stop ↓

AI agents invoke replay_stop to trigger actions in TradingView MCP Bridge. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

This tool executes a command that changes the state of the TradingView application—specifically halting a replay session and switching back to realtime mode. This is an Execute category action because it triggers an external operation whose effects depend on the current state of the application. While reversible (replay can be restarted), it is not merely a Read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool performs a state-changing action 'Stop replay and return to realtime' on TradingView Desktop via Chrome DevTools Protocol. It is an operational trigger that modifies the application's active mode.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access replay_stop 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 replay_stop:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "replay_stop": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "replay_stop_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

replay_stop stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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.
