AI agents call trading_detect_mode 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 only queries the current state of the Trading Panel (paper-trading, live broker connection, or disconnected). It performs no side effects, creates no modifications, executes no commands, and poses minimal risk. It is a simple status check, clearly categorized as Read. The low severity reflects that misuse would only return information about the trading environment, not enable harmful trading actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'trading_detect_mode' and description state it is 'Read-only' and detects trading mode status without modifying any state.
