# 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.

It has no side effects, does not execute external operations, does not modify or delete data, and does not involve financial transactions. The only action is querying and returning formatted market context within a token budget. From the tool's own definition: "get_market_context returns a WHOLE-market briefing containing DCPI verdict, power & grid facts, outlook, M&A deals, construction pipeline, operator footprint, transaction comps, risk factors, and news — all read-only data retrieval with 'citable URL' and…" ## Use case 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mcp Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_market_context": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Mcp Server (78) - `standing_intent` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/standing-intent.md - `compare_sites` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/compare-sites.md - `rank_markets` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/rank-markets.md - `unlock_more_data` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/unlock-more-data.md - `ai_capacity_index` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/ai-capacity-index.md - `analyze_parcel` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/analyze-parcel.md - `analyze_site` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/analyze-site.md - `cluster_sites_by_latency` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/cluster-sites-by-latency.md - `compare_isos` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/compare-isos.md - `deal_autopsy` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/deal-autopsy.md - `discover_tools` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/discover-tools.md - `export_dataset` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/export-dataset.md - `fetch` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/fetch.md - `find_alternatives` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/find-alternatives.md - `get_agent_registry` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-agent-registry.md - `get_backup_status` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-backup-status.md - `get_changes` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-changes.md - `get_climate_intel` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-climate-intel.md - `get_composite_site_score` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-composite-site-score.md - `get_dchub_recommendation` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-dchub-recommendation.md - `get_disaster_risk` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-disaster-risk.md - `get_energy_prices` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-energy-prices.md - `get_facility` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-facility.md - `get_facility_risk_delta` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-facility-risk-delta.md - `get_fiber_intel` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-fiber-intel.md - `get_fiber_readiness` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-fiber-readiness.md - `get_gas_economics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-gas-economics.md - `get_gas_index` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-gas-index.md - `get_gas_intelligence` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-gas-intelligence.md - `get_global_power` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server/get-global-power.md - …and 48 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/cloud-dchub-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
