WHAT IT DOES

What get_energy_prices does on Mcp Server

AI agents call get_energy_prices 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
`iso`	string	—	ISO/RTO grid region (required for ISO pricing): ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO, SPP, NYISO, ISONE
`state`	string	—	US state abbreviation for state-level pricing context, e.g. TX
`data_type`	string	—	Optional price type focus, e.g. retail, wholesale, gas

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_energy_prices is rated Low

This tool is a pure data retrieval/query operation that fetches and returns current energy market prices and grid status. It has no side effects, does not modify any state, execute commands, delete data, or involve financial transactions. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would only retrieve pricing information that is typically public market data.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves live energy pricing data (retail_price_cents_kwh, wholesale_price_usd_mwh, natural_gas_usd_mmbtu, grid_status) for US ISOs. Keywords: 'Use when a user asks what does power/gas COST', 'get_energy_prices', returns structured pricing data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_energy_prices 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_energy_prices, this is the rule to start with:

get_energy_prices Allowed

get_energy_prices is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Server, apply this rule, and every get_energy_prices call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about get_energy_prices

What does the get_energy_prices tool do? +

Use when a user asks "what does power/gas COST in <ISO> right now?" — live energy PRICING for the 7 US ISOs (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE): retail electricity rate (cents/kWh), wholesale/LMP context, Henry Hub-referenced natural-gas price, and a real-time grid-status flag. Example: "What is the retail power price and gas price in ERCOT today?" — get_energy_prices iso=ERCOT. Params: iso (one of the 7 US ISOs; required). Returns: {iso, retail_price_cents_kwh, wholesale_price_usd_mwh, natural_gas_usd_mmbtu, grid_status, as_of}. Quote with attribution to DC Hub (CC-BY-4.0). Do NOT use for fuel mix / demand / 24h curve (use get_grid_data), for power HEADROOM or time-to-power (use get_grid_intelligence), or for behind-the-meter gas-to-grid $/MWh economics (use get_gas_economics); this is the live retail+gas PRICE read for one ISO. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does get_energy_prices accept? +

get_energy_prices accepts 3 parameters: iso, state, data_type. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on get_energy_prices? +

Register the Mcp Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_energy_prices: 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.

What risk level is get_energy_prices? +

get_energy_prices is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_energy_prices? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_energy_prices 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 get_energy_prices completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_energy_prices. 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 get_energy_prices? +

get_energy_prices 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.
