List active alerts
AI agents call alert_list to retrieve information from TradingView MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or enumerates alert data with no side effects. It performs a query operation on TradingView alerts, which is a classic Read operation. The blast radius is minimal—observing alert configuration poses negligible risk to the user's system or data integrity. Severity is low because listing alerts cannot trigger unwanted actions, delete data, or affect financial positions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'alert_list' and description 'List active alerts' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing alerts without modification or execution.
