Click a UI element by aria-label, data-name, text content, or class substring
AI agents invoke ui_click 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.
This tool triggers UI interactions (clicks) within the TradingView Desktop application via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Clicking UI elements is an execution action whose effects are entirely dependent on what element is targeted — it could trigger trades, modify settings, delete alerts, or perform other high-impact operations within TradingView.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ui_click 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 ui_click:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"ui_click": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "ui_click_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
} ui_click 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.

Click a UI element by aria-label, data-name, text content, or class substring. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the TradingView MCP Bridge MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the TradingView MCP Bridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ui_click: 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.
ui_click is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ui_click 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 ui_click. 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.
ui_click 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.
