Get current UI state: which panels are open, what buttons are visible/enabled/disabled

How to control tv_ui_state ↓

AI agents call tv_ui_state 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 tool only retrieves and reports the current state of UI elements. It performs no side effects, creates no data, executes no code, and cannot delete or move money. It is a straightforward read operation analogous to a status check or query. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would only leak information about the current UI state, not cause operational harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'tv_ui_state' and description 'Get current UI state: which panels are open, what buttons are visible/enabled/disabled' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves display state information without modifying or executing anything.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access tv_ui_state 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_ui_state:

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

tv_ui_state 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.
