get_power_availability_timeline
Power-availability TIMING for one US state — when power gets EASIER, year by year. Composes: new generation coming online from EIA-860M monthly, split by confidence class (under-construction vs planned vs testing — never blended); scheduled retirements as dated subtractions; LBNL interconnection-...

What get_power_availability_timeline does on Mcp Server
AI agents call get_power_availability_timeline 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
mw | number | — | Optional target MW for CONTEXT ONLY — echoed back with an explicit note; never converted into an energize-by date, which this data cannot honestly state |
state | string | Yes | 2-letter US state code (required), e.g. OH, GA, TX — the timeline grain; a state can span ISOs and the response reports ISO membership as context |
years | number | — | Window in years from now, 1-6 (default 5) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_power_availability_timeline is rated Low
Tool queries and composes existing energy infrastructure data with no modification or external operation side effects.
From the tool's definition retrieves power-availability timing data, queries EIA-860M, LBNL interconnection-queue feeds
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_power_availability_timeline 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_power_availability_timeline, this is the rule to start with:
get_power_availability_timeline 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_power_availability_timeline call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_power_availability_timeline
Power-availability TIMING for one US state — when power gets EASIER, year by year. Composes: new generation coming online from EIA-860M monthly, split by confidence class (under-construction vs planned vs testing — never blended); scheduled retirements as dated subtractions; LBNL interconnection-queue depth as congestion context (NO delivery dates — the feed has none and most queued MW never completes). The one derived number, cumulative_firm_signal_mw, counts ONLY under-construction+testing minus retirements — speculative permitting-stage MW is shown but never folded in. Answers "when is new capacity landing in Ohio", "what comes online in Georgia by 2027" with dated, sourced, per-lane-vintaged numbers. HONESTY LINE: supply-side signals, not a load-interconnection promise — generation ≠ deliverable load, and utility study timelines / large-load tariff processes / substation-grain delivery are declared out of coverage in constraint_coverage rather than estimated. Try: get_power_availability_timeline state=OH. Do NOT use for the raw project list (get_power_pipeline), live headroom today (get_grid_intelligence), queue survivors (get_refined_queue), or where-to-build ranking (rank_markets / ai_capacity_index) — this answers WHEN, for one state. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_power_availability_timeline accepts 3 parameters: mw, state, years. Required: state. 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_power_availability_timeline: 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_power_availability_timeline 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_power_availability_timeline 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_power_availability_timeline. 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_power_availability_timeline 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.
