Get details of a specific board by ID.
AI agents call pushtodisplay_get_board to retrieve information from Pushtodisplay without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns information about an existing board without side effects. It performs a straightforward data retrieval operation, matching the Read category (retrieves or queries data; no side effects). The blast radius if misused by an AI agent is minimal—at worst, an agent could retrieve board configuration details it shouldn't access, but no data is modified, deleted, or executed.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get details of a specific board by ID' — a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
