# get_grid_intelligence Use when a user asks "can I get N MW of power in and how long will it take?" — the flagship grid-headroom + interconnection-queue brief for one ISO. Example: "How much excess power does PJM have right now and what is the time-to-power for a 200MW load?" — get_grid_intelligence region_id="PJM". Params: region_id (aliases iso/region accepted) — one of the 7 US ISOs ("PJM" | "ERCOT" | "CAISO" | "MISO" | "SPP" | "NYISO" | "ISO-NE") OR a US EIA balancing authority (40+ now live, e.g. Atlanta/SOCO, Carolinas/DUK, Florida/FPL, Phoenix/AZPS, Las Vegas/NEVP, Portland/PGE, Seattle/SCL, LA/LDWP, Quincy/GCPD, Denver/PSCO, Tennessee/TVA — note: balancing authorities return live generation mix; demand, headroom, interconnection-queue and DCPI scores remain ISO-level for the 7 ISOs). Returns: {iso, iso_name, demand_mw, generation_mix_pct{NG,COL,NUC,WND,SUN,WAT,…}, renewable_share_pct, gas_share_pct, constraint_score (0-100 DCPI), excess_power_score (0-100 DCPI), avg_time_to_power_months, curtailment_pct, reserve_margin_pct, retail_price_cents_kwh, queue_depth_gw, data_center_share_pct, stranded_capacity_mw, grid_emergencies_30d, build_rate_pct, last_updated}. Do NOT use to compare 2+ ISOs side-by-side (use compare_isos) or for the global greenest-first ranking (use get_grid_scoreboard).

It is a pure information-retrieval tool analogous to search or get operations, with minimal blast radius if misused. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it retrieves 'grid-headroom + interconnection-queue brief' and provides intelligence on 'excess power' and 'time-to-power' for ISOs. Params include only region_id selection." ## Use case 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**.
