AI agents call generate_backtest_charts to retrieve information from MaverickMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool generates visual chart representations of backtest data and returns base64-encoded images. It reads/computes historical data and renders charts without modifying any data, executing trades, or causing financial transactions. The output is purely informational (chart images).

"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"generate_backtest_charts": {}
}
