Get DC energy meter data from SmartShunts configured in DC meter mode: voltage, current, auxiliary voltage, temperature, energy produced/consumed, and alarms. Specify type:
AI agents call victron_dcenergy_status to retrieve information from Victron Tcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries real-time telemetry from energy measurement devices on a Victron system. It has no side effects, cannot modify system state, and merely returns status information. The worst outcome of misuse would be information disclosure about energy consumption patterns, which poses minimal risk. No financial transactions, code execution, data modification, or destructive actions are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves monitoring data (voltage, current, auxiliary voltage, temperature, energy produced/consumed, and alarms) from DC energy meters with no modification capability.

Get DC energy meter data from SmartShunts configured in DC meter mode: voltage, current, auxiliary voltage, temperature, energy produced/consumed, and alarms. Specify type:. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Victron Tcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Victron Tcp MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for victron_dcenergy_status: 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 Victron Tcp. Nothing to install.
victron_dcenergy_status 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 victron_dcenergy_status 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 victron_dcenergy_status. 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.
victron_dcenergy_status is provided by the Victron Tcp MCP server (lubosstrejcek/victron-tcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
