build_dcf_model

Build a levered DCF model using live Federal Reserve rates. Automatically fetches current SOFR to derive the loan rate if not provided. Returns: annual cash flows, IRR, equity multiple, cash-on-cash, DSCR, and exit analysis.

What build_dcf_model does on CRE Intelligence MCP

AI agents invoke build_dcf_model to trigger actions in CRE Intelligence MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
loan_rate object Loan interest rate % — if None, fetches live SOFR + 175bps
noi_year1 number Yes Year 1 Net Operating Income ($)
equity_pct number Equity as % of purchase price (default 35%)
hold_years integer Hold period in years (default 10)
exit_cap_rate object Exit cap rate % — if None, uses entry cap + 25bps (conservative)
purchase_price number Yes Acquisition price ($)
noi_growth_rate number Annual NOI growth rate % (default 3.0)
amortization_years integer Loan amortization period (default 30 years)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why build_dcf_model needs a policy

While the tool performs financial analysis and reads market data, it does not move money, commit financial obligations, or irreversibly alter data. It is fundamentally an Execute category tool because it runs a complex algorithm (DCF modeling) whose outputs depend on input parameters and external data fetches.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Build[s] a levered DCF model' and 'Automatically fetches current SOFR to derive the loan rate' — these are computational operations that execute financial modeling logic with real-world market data inputs.

Questions about build_dcf_model

What does the build_dcf_model tool do? +

Build a levered DCF model using live Federal Reserve rates. Automatically fetches current SOFR to derive the loan rate if not provided. Returns: annual cash flows, IRR, equity multiple, cash-on-cash, DSCR, and exit analysis. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the CRE Intelligence MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

What parameters does build_dcf_model accept? +

build_dcf_model accepts 8 parameters: loan_rate, noi_year1, equity_pct, hold_years, exit_cap_rate, purchase_price, noi_growth_rate, amortization_years. Required: noi_year1, purchase_price. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on build_dcf_model? +

Register the CRE Intelligence MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for build_dcf_model: 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 CRE Intelligence MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is build_dcf_model? +

build_dcf_model is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit build_dcf_model? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the build_dcf_model 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.

How do I block build_dcf_model completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for build_dcf_model. 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 build_dcf_model? +

build_dcf_model is provided by the CRE Intelligence MCP server (Zwondra/cre-intelligence-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
