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. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_gas_index is rated Low
Tool queries and returns data about gas pricing indices with no side effects or modifications.
From the tool's definition retrieves Data Center Gas Index scores per state, gas price data series

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
Use this when the user asks which US states suit gas-fired data center power: the Data Center Gas Index (DCGI), a per-state score. ★ 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. Gas-fired $/MWh figures, withdrawn the same day for a separate defect, were republished 2026-09-27 under one burner-tip price rule (see get_gas_economics). 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.
