Report which known TradingView API paths are available and their methods

How to control tv_discover ↓

AI agents call tv_discover 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.

Low Risk

This is a purely informational tool that enumerates available API paths and their HTTP methods. It has no side effects, does not execute commands, does not modify data, and does not perform destructive operations. It is analogous to a documentation lookup or API introspection call, which is a Read operation with minimal security risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'tv_discover' and description 'Report which known TradingView API paths are available and their methods' indicate a discovery/inspection function that retrieves and reports information about available API endpoints without modifying, executing, or…

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

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

tv_discover 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.
