What get_gas_index does on Mcp Server
AI agents call get_gas_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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | integer | — | Max results to return (1-500; default varies by tool) |
state | string | — | US state abbreviation, e.g. TX, VA, AZ. Returns the DCGI score and verdict, plus `gas_price_series` naming which EIA series priced the state. A state that canno |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_gas_index is rated Low
Tool queries and returns data-center gas index metrics without side effects or operations.
From the tool's definition retrieves per-US-state natural-gas suitability score; no modification or execution.

The rule that runs get_gas_index 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_index, this is the rule to start with:
get_gas_index 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_gas_index call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_gas_index
Data Center Gas Index (DCGI) — the per-US-state natural-gas suitability score. ★ WITHDRAWN 2026-08-08, RESTORED 2026-08-30 after all three defective terms were repaired: the 20-point interstate-share term was case-blind against EIA TYPEPIPE and scored ~0 for every state (122 -> 17,571 segments now counted); the price was chosen by a non-deterministic tie-break across the EIA industrial (PIN) and electric-power (PEU) series, which carry different margins; and nine states including Texas ran on a hardcoded cost constant because the price loader dropped them on a case-sensitive name lookup. ★ DO NOT COMPARE a DCGI figure published before 2026-08-08 with one published now — they are different indices; the full record is at /api/v1/dcgi/methodology under corrections. A state that cannot be priced comes back verdict UNSCORED with dcgi null and an unscored_reason, never a placeholder score, so treat UNSCORED as absence and not as a low score. gas_price_series names which EIA series answered each state. ★ STILL WITHDRAWN and NOT restored by this: every gas-fired $/MWh figure — a separate defect from the same audit. Use get_gas_intelligence for pipeline, operator and parent-midstream data. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_gas_index accepts 2 parameters: limit, state. 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_gas_index: 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_gas_index 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_gas_index 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_gas_index. 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_gas_index 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.
