Extract end-use energy breakdown by fuel type (heating, cooling, lighting, etc.).
AI agents call extract_end_use_breakdown to retrieve information from Openstudio without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries energy simulation results to report breakdowns by fuel type and end-use category. It performs no side effects, creates no new data, executes no simulations, and cannot modify or delete existing models or results. It is a pure read operation on existing simulation outputs.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'extract_end_use_breakdown' and description 'Extract end-use energy breakdown' indicate data retrieval and analysis of simulation results with no modification or execution of operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access extract_end_use_breakdown gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Openstudio, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for extract_end_use_breakdown:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"extract_end_use_breakdown": {}
}
}extract_end_use_breakdown is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Extract end-use energy breakdown by fuel type (heating, cooling, lighting, etc.). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Openstudio MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Openstudio MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for extract_end_use_breakdown: 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 Openstudio. Nothing to install.
extract_end_use_breakdown 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 extract_end_use_breakdown 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 extract_end_use_breakdown. 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.
extract_end_use_breakdown is provided by the Openstudio MCP server (natlabrockies/openstudio-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Openstudio, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
