What omniwire_broadcast does on OmniWire

AI agents invoke omniwire_broadcast to trigger actions in OmniWire. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why omniwire_broadcast needs a policy

This tool executes arbitrary commands across all nodes in a distributed mesh network. While not destructive by itself, command execution is inherently high-severity because the blast radius is multiplicative—a single malicious or erroneous command propagates to every online node simultaneously, potentially affecting the entire infrastructure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'omniwire_broadcast' and description states it will 'Execute a command on all online mesh nodes simultaneously.' The explicit use of 'Execute' and 'command' combined with 'all online mesh nodes' indicates arbitrary command execution across…

How to control omniwire_broadcast

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OmniWire, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for omniwire_broadcast:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "omniwire_broadcast": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "omniwire_broadcast_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

omniwire_broadcast stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OmniWire — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about omniwire_broadcast

What does the omniwire_broadcast tool do? +

Execute a command on all online mesh nodes simultaneously. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the OmniWire MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on omniwire_broadcast? +

Register the OmniWire MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for omniwire_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 OmniWire. Nothing to install.

What risk level is omniwire_broadcast? +

omniwire_broadcast is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit omniwire_broadcast? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the omniwire_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.

How do I block omniwire_broadcast completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for omniwire_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.

What MCP server provides omniwire_broadcast? +

omniwire_broadcast is provided by the OmniWire MCP server (voidchecksum/omniwire). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every OmniWire tool call.

Start from OmniWire, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
