WHAT IT DOES

What get_grid_data does on Mcp Server

AI agents call get_grid_data 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): ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO, SPP, NYISO, ISONE
`metric`	string	—	Optional metric focus, e.g. fuel_mix, demand, demand_curve
`period`	string	—	Optional time window for the metric, e.g. 24h

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_grid_data is rated Low

This is a straightforward data retrieval tool that queries and returns real-time telemetry from electricity grid systems. It has no side effects, does not modify any state, and explicitly disclaims responsibility for operational or financial decisions.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'Real-time electricity grid data' including 'fuel mix, demand, 24h demand curve' for US ISOs.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_grid_data 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_grid_data, this is the rule to start with:

get_grid_data Allowed

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

policy.json

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

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_grid_data call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about get_grid_data

What does the get_grid_data tool do? +

Real-time electricity grid data for the 7 US ISOs (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE) via EIA hourly RTO: fuel mix, demand, 24h demand curve. Pass iso=PJM (any of the 7). Raw real-time telemetry for one ISO; do NOT use for power-availability, time-to-power or interconnection-queue analysis (use get_grid_intelligence), nor for retail/gas pricing detail (use get_energy_prices). For non-US grids (GB, EU bidding zones, Taiwan, Australia) use get_grid_scoreboard. 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_grid_data accept? +

get_grid_data accepts 3 parameters: iso, metric, period. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on get_grid_data? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit get_grid_data? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_grid_data 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_grid_data completely? +

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

get_grid_data 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.
