# ai_capacity_index

AI Compute Capacity Index — ranks data center markets by where 100MW of AI training capacity can land in the next 30/60/90 days. Returns top markets with facility_count, operator_count, deployable_mw estimate, hyperscale_ready flag, and composite score (depth + diversity + power). Refreshed Fridays 14:00 UTC. Use for AI capex planning, GPU cluster siting, hyperscaler deal forecasting. Do NOT use for a general best-markets ranking (use rank_markets) or forward grid-emergence (use grid_transition_radar); this answers specifically where 100MW of AI capacity can land in 30/60/90 days.

## Facts

- Tool: `ai_capacity_index`
- Server: Mcp Server (`https://dchub.cloud/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/azmartone67/dchub-mcp-server
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server auth posture: open
- Server CORS policy: *
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 2
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | integer | no | Number of top markets to return (default 20) |
| `horizon` | integer | no | Deployment horizon in days: 30, 60, or 90 (default 90) |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "ai_capacity_index",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why ai_capacity_index is rated Low

This is a query/analytics tool that surfaces pre-computed or real-time indexed data about AI compute capacity availability. The output informs strategic planning but produces no state changes in the underlying systems. It is informational and read-only, comparable to a search or ranked list retrieval, placing it in the Read category with low risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool returns market rankings and facility metadata (facility_count, operator_count, deployable_mw, hyperscale_ready flag, composite score) with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call ai_capacity_index to retrieve information from Mcp Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mcp Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ai_capacity_index": {}
  }
}
```
