What get_gas_intelligence does on Mcp Server
AI agents call get_gas_intelligence 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
state | string | — | Alias for region — the US state code or name |
region | string | — | US state code or name (required), e.g. "TX", "Texas", "Virginia" |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_gas_intelligence is rated Low
This tool performs data retrieval and analysis only. It queries existing intelligence indices and market data to provide brief reports on gas power economics for data centers. There are no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no financial transactions. The parameters are simple lookup values (US state codes/names), and the output is read-only intelligence suitable for decision-making.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and queries data: 'fuses the DC Hub Gas Index (DCGI), live Henry Hub, gas-to-grid $/MWh across heat-rate scenarios, pipeline-operator presence, and the live grid gas share into one per-STATE brief.' Returns informational results (region,…

The rule that runs get_gas_intelligence 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_intelligence, this is the rule to start with:
get_gas_intelligence 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_intelligence call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_gas_intelligence
Use when a human asks about gas-fired or behind-the-meter power economics for a data center in a US state — "is gas power cheaper than the grid in Texas?", "what is the gas access + pipeline situation in Virginia?". The GAS analogue of get_grid_intelligence: fuses the DC Hub Gas Index (DCGI), live Henry Hub, gas-to-grid $/MWh across heat-rate scenarios, pipeline-operator presence, and the live grid gas share into one per-STATE brief. Params: region (US state code or name, e.g. "TX" | "Texas" | "Virginia"). Returns: {region, region_name, dcgi_score (0-100), dcgi_verdict (GAS-ADVANTAGED/ADEQUATE/GAS-CONSTRAINED), gas_access (pipeline counts + operators — PRESENCE not firm capacity), henry_hub_usd_mmbtu (live), basis_usd_mmbtu (synthetic-labeled), delivered_price_usd_mmbtu (null where the tariff table is sparse — surfaced honestly, never fabricated), gas_to_grid_usd_per_mwh (5 heat-rate scenarios), live_grid_gas_share_pct, headline_behind_meter_vs_grid_delta_usd_mwh (the punchline: gas vs grid $/MWh), pipeline_presence (operators + parent midstreams), data_basis (per-field provenance/confidence), omitted_no_fabrication}. Every field carries a data_basis label; gas storage / LNG / firm pipeline capacity are deliberately OMITTED (no feed). Do NOT use for electricity grid headroom (use get_grid_intelligence) or the DCGI score alone (use get_gas_index). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_gas_intelligence accepts 2 parameters: state, region. 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_intelligence: 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_intelligence 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_intelligence 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_intelligence. 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_intelligence 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.
