What finance.eia.series does on Apibase
AI agents call finance.eia.series to retrieve information from Apibase 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
length | integer | — | Number of recent observations (default 24, max 500). |
frequency | string | — | Time frequency (default "monthly"). |
series_id | string | Yes | EIA series ID for the total-energy dataset (e.g. "RNGWHHD" Henry Hub spot, "ELETPUS" total US electricity, "TETCBUS" total energy consumption). |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

The rule that runs finance.eia.series safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Apibase, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For finance.eia.series, this is the rule to start with:
finance.eia.series 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 Apibase, apply this rule, and every finance.eia.series call is checked against it from then on.

finance.eia.series accepts 3 parameters: length, frequency, series_id. Required: series_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Apibase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for finance.eia.series: 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 Apibase. Nothing to install.
finance.eia.series 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 finance.eia.series 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 finance.eia.series. 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.
