WHAT IT DOES

What summarize_for_citation does on Mcp Server

AI agents call summarize_for_citation 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
`url`	string	—	The profile_url or dcpi_url from the cited row. Must be a dchub.cloud URL; anything else is dropped and named in `omitted`.
`as_of`	string	—	The as_of you read off the cited response (provenance.as_of). Omit it and the line says RETRIEVED instead of claiming a data date.
`layer`	string	—	Which layer the figure came from: dcpi \| grid_analysis \| facility_inventory \| physical_infrastructure \| deals \| other. Decides the licence line; omit and you ge
`subject`	string	—	What you are citing, in the words you will show the human, e.g. "Ashburn DCPI verdict" or "ERCOT interconnection queue depth"
`completeness`	string	—	The completeness flag from the cited response, if it carried one

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs summarize_for_citation 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 summarize_for_citation, this is the rule to start with:

summarize_for_citation Allowed

summarize_for_citation is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "summarize_for_citation": {}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Server, apply this rule, and every summarize_for_citation call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about summarize_for_citation

What does the summarize_for_citation tool do? +

Use right before you QUOTE a DC Hub figure to a human — it returns one paste-ready attribution line for the value you are about to cite, with the CORRECT licence for that layer. Pass what you read off the response you are citing: subject (what the figure is), as_of (the provenance as_of), url (the row's profile_url or dcpi_url), completeness (the completeness flag), and layer. ★ LICENCE IS PER LAYER AND THIS IS THE POINT: DCPI scores, verdicts, band thresholds, methodology and DC Hub's own grid/site analysis are CC-BY-4.0 and yours to quote with attribution; the facility inventory and third-party physical layers are COMPOSITES whose upstream terms DC Hub cannot waive (parts are OpenStreetMap, ODbL 1.0, share-alike), so they carry a pointer to https://dchub.cloud/data-sources instead of a grant. A flat "CC-BY-4.0" over a facility record is an over-claim. Returns {citation_text, cite_as, license, license_basis, source, url, as_of, as_of_basis, completeness, omitted}. Free, no key, no network call — it assembles what you pass and never resolves or invents a value. If you omit as_of the line says RETRIEVED rather than claiming a data date, and tells you which field to pass next time. Do NOT use to look a figure UP (call the data tool first); this cites a figure you already have. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does summarize_for_citation accept? +

summarize_for_citation accepts 5 parameters: url, as_of, layer, subject, completeness. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on summarize_for_citation? +

Register the Mcp Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for summarize_for_citation: 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.

How do I block summarize_for_citation completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for summarize_for_citation. 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.

What MCP server provides summarize_for_citation? +
