WHAT IT DOES

What get_gas_economics does on Mcp Server

AI agents call get_gas_economics 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
`market`	string	—	Market slug (metro), e.g. northern-virginia, dallas, phoenix — valid slugs come from rank_markets / get_market_dcpi_rank
`heat_rate_btu_per_kwh`	number	—	Optional custom generator heat rate in Btu/kWh for the gas-to-grid $/MWh scenario, e.g. 6800 (avg CCGT)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_gas_economics is rated Low

This is a pure data retrieval tool that queries gas pricing and economics calculations for data-center markets. It has no side effects, does not execute external operations, does not modify data, and poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—it only exposes historical/current market prices and derived cost scenarios that are informational in nature.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and returns economics data: 'henry_hub_spot_usd_mmbtu', 'basis_diff_usd_mmbtu', 'delivered_industrial_usd_mmbtu', 'delivered_electric_usd_mmbtu', 'gas_price_used_usd_mmbtu', 'scenarios_us'. No parameters modify state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_gas_economics 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_gas_economics, this is the rule to start with:

get_gas_economics Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_gas_economics": {}
  }
}

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_gas_economics call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about get_gas_economics

What does the get_gas_economics tool do? +

Behind-the-meter / gas-fired power ECONOMICS for a US data-center market: Henry Hub spot, regional basis differential, delivered industrial + electric gas tariff ($/MMBtu), and the gas-to-grid levelized cost ($/MWh) across CCGT/peaker heat-rate scenarios — the number a BTM developer compares against a grid PPA. Pass market=<slug> (e.g. "northern-virginia", "dallas", "phoenix"); optional heat_rate_btu_per_kwh for a custom scenario. Returns {market, henry_hub_spot_usd_mmbtu, basis_diff_usd_mmbtu, delivered_industrial_usd_mmbtu, delivered_electric_usd_mmbtu, gas_price_used_usd_mmbtu, scenarios_usd_per_mwh:{new_ccgt_6400, avg_ccgt_6800, old_ccgt_7500, old_peaker_12000, custom}, data_basis}. Pairs with get_gas_index (per-state DCGI suitability). Do NOT use for the electricity grid fuel mix (use get_grid_data) or the per-state gas suitability score (use get_gas_index); this is the $/MWh gas-power cost. 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_gas_economics accept? +

get_gas_economics accepts 2 parameters: market, heat_rate_btu_per_kwh. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on get_gas_economics? +

Register the Mcp Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_gas_economics: 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_gas_economics? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_gas_economics? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_gas_economics 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_gas_economics completely? +

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

get_gas_economics 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.
