get_grid_intelligence
Use this when the user asks about grid capacity, power availability, headroom or time-to-power in a US ISO (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE) or a market's grid.

What get_grid_intelligence does on Mcp Server
AI agents call get_grid_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 |
|---|---|---|---|
iso | string | — | Alias for region_id — the ISO/RTO or balancing-authority code |
market | string | — | Market NAME or metro slug instead of a grid code, e.g. "Ashburn", "northern-virginia", "dallas". Resolved to its ISO through the published DCPI market row befor |
region | string | — | Alias for region_id — the ISO/RTO or balancing-authority code |
mpp_pay | boolean | — | Per-call payment quote (Stripe MPP): true returns a signed payment challenge instead of the free preview; no money moves. Set it only after your human has expli |
region_id | string | — | Grid region (required): one of the 7 US ISOs (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE), an EIA balancing-authority code (e.g. |
mpp_credential | string | — | Per-call payment (Stripe MPP): the Shared Payment Token for challenges[0]; pays that challenge for this one call. Send it only with your human's explicit approv |

Tool queries grid data and returns intelligence; retrieves information without side effects or modifications.
From the tool's definition Returns live demand, fuel mix, queue depth, power availability, headroom, time-to-power, reserve margin. No modifications.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_grid_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_grid_intelligence, this is the rule to start with:
get_grid_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_grid_intelligence call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_grid_intelligence
Use this when the user asks about grid capacity, power availability, headroom or time-to-power in a US ISO (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE) or a market's grid. Returns live demand, fuel mix, queue depth, DCPI excess-power and constraint scores, time-to-power, reserve margin. avg_time_to_power_months and avg_queue_wait_months are DIFFERENT measurements; quote the one you mean. With a free key, a few full briefs a day; keyless gets a trimmed preview. Unlimited needs a paid key. Ex: "PJM headroom for 200 MW?" iso must be a US ISO (ERCOT, PJM, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE); other codes return region_not_covered. Free = preview. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_grid_intelligence accepts 6 parameters: iso, market, region, mpp_pay, region_id, mpp_credential. 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_grid_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_grid_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_grid_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_grid_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_grid_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.
