What get_iso_context does on Mcp Server
AI agents call get_iso_context 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 | Yes | ISO/RTO grid region (required): ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO, SPP, NYISO, ISONE |
max_tokens | number | — | Token budget for the pack, 200-8000 (default 4000); sections are filled in priority order until the budget is spent |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_iso_context is rated Low
Retrieves and aggregates public grid, market, and facility data; no creation, modification, deletion, or execution.
From the tool's definition returns grid snapshot, DCPI verdict mix, benchmark LMP, market list, news—retrieves data
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_iso_context 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_iso_context, this is the rule to start with:
get_iso_context 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_iso_context call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_iso_context
Use when an agent needs a WHOLE-grid briefing it can drop straight into its context window — one call returns a token-budgeted context pack for a US ISO/RTO: live grid snapshot (demand, fuel-mix shares), DCPI verdict mix & grid economics across the ISO's tracked markets (queue wait, power cost, reserve margin), interconnection-queue depth with the largest projects, real-time benchmark LMP, the tracked DCPI market list, deep-dive narrative excerpts, and recent news — each section with its own token count, as_of timestamp, and citable URL, greedily filled in that priority order under your max_tokens budget. Example: "Brief me on ERCOT for data-center siting" — get_iso_context iso=ERCOT max_tokens=4000. Params: iso (required: ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO, SPP, NYISO, ISONE); max_tokens (optional, 200-8000, default 4000). Returns {sections:[{id,title,text,tokens,as_of,cite}], used_tokens, omitted}. Do NOT use for raw single-ISO telemetry (use get_grid_data), the per-ISO decision brief with headroom/TTP (use get_grid_intelligence), multi-ISO scalar comparison (use compare_isos), or non-US grids (use get_grid_scoreboard); this is the narrative briefing pack. Cite "DC Hub (dchub.cloud)". It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_iso_context accepts 2 parameters: iso, max_tokens. Required: iso. 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_iso_context: 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_iso_context 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_iso_context 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_iso_context. 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_iso_context 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.
