What get_market_context does on Mcp Server
AI agents call get_market_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 |
|---|---|---|---|
market | string | Yes | Market slug (required), e.g. northern-virginia, dallas, phoenix — valid slugs come from rank_markets / get_market_dcpi_rank |
max_tokens | number | — | Token budget for the pack, 200-8000 (default 4000); sections are filled in priority order until the budget is spent |

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_market_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_market_context, this is the rule to start with:
get_market_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_market_context call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_market_context
Use when an agent needs a WHOLE-market briefing it can drop straight into its context window — one call returns a token-budgeted context pack for a data-center market: DCPI verdict, power & grid facts, the Claude-written 12-month outlook, M&A deals, construction pipeline, operator footprint, transaction comps, risk factors, and top 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 the Columbus data-center market" — get_market_context market=columbus max_tokens=4000. Params: market (required, market slug e.g. northern-virginia — valid slugs come from rank_markets); max_tokens (optional, 200-8000, default 4000). Returns {sections:[{id,title,text,tokens,as_of,cite}], used_tokens, omitted}. Do NOT use for a single metric (use get_market_dcpi_rank), the raw structured metric set (use get_market_intel), or cross-market ranking (use rank_markets); 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_market_context accepts 2 parameters: market, max_tokens. Required: market. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
