THE RISK

High Risk

This tool sends keyboard input to the TradingView Desktop application via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Keyboard shortcuts can trigger a wide range of actions including saving, deleting, submitting forms, executing trades, or other application-level operations. The effect depends entirely on the current application state and keys pressed, making it an Execute-category tool.

From the tool's definition Press keyboard keys or shortcuts (e.g., Enter, Escape, Alt+S, Ctrl+Z)

HOW TO CONTROL UI_KEYBOARD

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_keyboard:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ui_keyboard": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ui_keyboard_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

ui_keyboard 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.

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