List all open TradingView chart tabs
AI agents call tab_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.

It is a straightforward read operation that queries the state of the TradingView application. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only gain visibility into which charts are open, not manipulate them or access sensitive financial data beyond what is already visible in the UI.
