# get_pipeline

Use when a user asks "what is being built / announced / permitted" in a market or by an operator — the forward-looking construction pipeline (540+ projects, 369 GW). Example: "What data centers are under construction in Northern Virginia and when do they come online?" — get_pipeline market=northern-virginia status=construction. Params: status one of "announced" | "permitted" | "construction" | "operational"; operator (e.g. "Equinix", "Digital Realty", "AWS"); country (ISO-2, e.g. "US", "DE"); min_capacity_mw (e.g. 50 to filter hyperscale); expected_completion_before (ISO date, e.g. "2027-01-01"); limit/offset for pagination. Returns: {projects:[{name, operator, capacity_mw, status, expected_commissioning, market_slug, country, lat, lon}], total, generated_at}. Do NOT use for already-operational facilities (use search_facilities) or for the M&A deal flow (use list_transactions).

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| `operator` | string | no | Operator/provider company name, e.g. Equinix, Digital Realty, AWS |
| `min_capacity_mw` | number | no | Minimum project power capacity filter in megawatts (MW), e.g. 50 for hyperscale |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_pipeline",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why get_pipeline is rated Low

This is a pure data retrieval tool. It queries a database of data-center and infrastructure projects and returns results based on filtering parameters. There are no side effects, no data modifications, no code execution, and no financial transactions. The tool provides business intelligence for M&A, capacity planning, and market analysis.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves forward-looking construction pipeline data (540+ projects, 369 GW) filtered by status, operator, country, capacity, and timeline."

## Use case

AI agents call get_pipeline 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_pipeline": {}
  }
}
```
