get_metro_fiber
Use when a user asks which US metro has the DEEPEST fiber, or wants the metro-level fiber profile of a market — carrier count, total route-miles, on-net buildings, a 0-100 fiber-density score, tier, key internet-exchange (IX) points and carrier hotels — across the tracked top US data-center metro...

What get_metro_fiber does on Mcp Server
AI agents call get_metro_fiber 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 | — | Optional metro name or slug for a single-market deep dive (carrier-by-carrier + dark fiber), e.g. "Dallas-Fort Worth", "dallas", "Northern Virginia", "ashburn". |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_metro_fiber is rated Low
get_metro_fiber is a pure data retrieval tool that queries and returns intelligence about fiber infrastructure across US data-center metros. It reads from a pre-existing dataset and returns analysis without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The tool has no side effects and presents minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—worst case, it returns irrelevant or excessive market data to the user.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and queries metro-level fiber infrastructure data including carrier count, route-miles, on-net buildings, and fiber-density scores.

The rule that runs get_metro_fiber 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_metro_fiber, this is the rule to start with:
get_metro_fiber 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_metro_fiber call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_metro_fiber
Use when a user asks which US metro has the DEEPEST fiber, or wants the metro-level fiber profile of a market — carrier count, total route-miles, on-net buildings, a 0-100 fiber-density score, tier, key internet-exchange (IX) points and carrier hotels — across the tracked top US data-center metros (Northern Virginia, Dallas-Fort Worth, Silicon Valley, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix, and more). Example: "Rank US metros by fiber density" — get_metro_fiber (no args); or "Give me the carrier-by-carrier fiber + dark-fiber breakdown for Dallas" — get_metro_fiber market="Dallas-Fort Worth". Params: market (optional metro name OR slug, e.g. "Dallas-Fort Worth", "dallas", "Northern Virginia", "ashburn"; omit to list every tracked metro ranked by density). Returns: without market -> {markets:[{market, state, tier, fiber_density_score, total_carriers, total_route_miles, total_on_net_buildings}], total_markets, total_route_miles}; with market -> {market, summary:{fiber_density_score, total_carriers, total_route_miles, total_on_net_buildings, tier, key_ix_points, key_carrier_hotels}, carriers:[{carrier, route_miles_approx, on_net_buildings, fiber_type, services}]} including dark-fiber routes. Cite DC Hub (dchub.cloud, CC-BY-4.0). Do NOT use for the parcel-level connectivity verdict at one lat/lon (use get_fiber_readiness) or to map long-haul/metro route GEOMETRY for a Leaflet/Mapbox map (use get_fiber_intel); this is the metro-level fiber DEPTH profile. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_metro_fiber accepts 1 parameter: market. 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_metro_fiber: 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_metro_fiber 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_metro_fiber 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_metro_fiber. 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_metro_fiber 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.
