Get a broadcast by its ID
AI agents call get_broadcast to retrieve information from Lichess Integration without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
broadcastId | string | — | ID of the broadcast |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves broadcast information from the Lichess platform without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple data query operation. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an unauthorized broadcast retrieval does not compromise system integrity, cannot modify user data, and poses no financial or destructive risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_broadcast' and description 'Get a broadcast by its ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and the action of fetching a broadcast by identifier are characteristic of read-only queries.

Get a broadcast by its ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Lichess Integration MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_broadcast accepts 1 parameter: broadcastId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Lichess Integration MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_broadcast: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Lichess Integration. Nothing to install.
get_broadcast is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_broadcast rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_broadcast. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_broadcast is provided by the Lichess Integration MCP server (karayaman/lichess-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
