# energy.electricity-rates Retail electricity price + sales for a US state by customer sector (residential/commercial/industrial/transportation/all), monthly newest-first, from EIA. Returns price (cents/kWh), sales (MWh), revenue ($M), customers. More granular than energy.prices (national benchmark only). Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `energy.electricity-rates`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/energy.electricity-rates ## Facts - Tool: `energy.electricity-rates` - Server: Mcp (`@2sio/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y @2sio/mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/2s-io/sdk - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "energy.electricity-rates", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why energy.electricity-rates is rated Low This is a pure data retrieval tool that queries historical electricity pricing and sales statistics by state and sector. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, execute operations, or commit financial transactions. The data returned is informational reference material for analysis only. The 'pay-per-call' settlement mechanism is orthogonal to the tool's function—it is still fundamentally a Read operation. From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves and returns electricity rate data: 'Returns price (cents/kWh), sales (MWh), revenue ($M), customers' from EIA. No modification, deletion, or execution capability mentioned. Described as providing historical/reference data 'monthly newest-first'." ## Use case AI agents call energy.electricity-rates to retrieve information from Mcp 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: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "energy.electricity-rates": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Mcp (571) - `queue.ack` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/queue.ack.md - `store.blob-delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/store.blob-delete.md - `store.doc-delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/store.doc-delete.md - `store.kv-delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/store.kv-delete.md - `store.vector-delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/store.vector-delete.md - `watchers.cancel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/watchers.cancel.md - `ai.council` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.council.md - `ai.screenshot` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.screenshot.md - `batch.run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/batch.run.md - `dev.preflight` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/dev.preflight.md - `dev.regex-test` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/dev.regex-test.md - `hash.compute` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/hash.compute.md - `pubsub.subscribe` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/pubsub.subscribe.md - `queue.lease` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/queue.lease.md - `search.crawl` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/search.crawl.md - `url.render` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/url.render.md - `watchers.crypto-address-activity` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/watchers.crypto-address-activity.md - `watchers.earthquake` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/watchers.earthquake.md - `predict.crypto-updown` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/predict.crypto-updown.md - `predict.wallet` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/predict.wallet.md - `watchers.fear-greed` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/watchers.fear-greed.md - `watchers.fx-rate` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/watchers.fx-rate.md - `agent.knowledge-delta` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/agent.knowledge-delta.md - `agriculture.drought` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/agriculture.drought.md - `agriculture.stats` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/agriculture.stats.md - `ai.chat` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.chat.md - `ai.classify` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.classify.md - `ai.describe-image` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.describe-image.md - `ai.entities` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.entities.md - `ai.extract` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.extract.md - …and 541 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
