What get_changes does on Mcp Server
AI agents call get_changes 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | integer | — | Max results to return (1-500; default varies by tool) |
since | string | — | Return changes since this ISO-8601 timestamp (YYYY-MM-DD or full datetime) or shorthand "24h"/"7d"; default 24h |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_changes is rated Low
get_changes is a read-only incremental sync tool that queries and retrieves data changes since a timestamp. It returns market data, facility information, M&A deals, and portfolio alerts—all retrieval operations with no side effects. The 'CAUTION → BUILD' verdict flips and alerts are read results, not actions that modify state.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it "pulls only the delta instead of re-fetching everything" and "Returns DCPI 7-day market movers, newly discovered facilities, new M&A deals + news" with "per-saved-site verdict flips, excess-power deltas, alerts fired." All described…

The rule that runs get_changes safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_changes, this is the rule to start with:
get_changes is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Server, apply this rule, and every get_changes call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_changes
Incremental sync — what changed in DC Hub since a timestamp, so an agent pulls only the delta instead of re-fetching everything. Returns DCPI 7-day market movers, newly discovered facilities, new M&A deals + news — PLUS, for keyed callers with saved sites, a portfolio block answering "did MY sites move?": per-saved-site verdict flips (CAUTION → BUILD), excess-power deltas, alerts fired, and new facilities near each site since your last check. Pass since=<ISO-8601> or shorthand "24h"/"7d" (default 24h); cache the response generated_at and pass it back next call. Try: get_changes since=7d. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_changes accepts 2 parameters: limit, since. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Mcp Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_changes: 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 Mcp Server. Nothing to install.
get_changes 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_changes 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_changes. 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_changes is provided by the Mcp Server MCP server (https://dchub.cloud/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
