• get_market_dcpi_rank

  Use this whenever the user asks where a data center can get grid power, how fast, or whether a market is a BUILD, CAUTION or AVOID (e.g. "Where can a 100 MW data center get power fastest?"): DCPI scores 300+ markets daily on Excess Power and Grid Constraint, CC BY 4.0. Data…

• predict_market_trajectory

  Forecast a DCPI market's near-term trajectory (next 1-8 quarters). Projects excess_power_score and constraint_score forward with confidence bands that WIDEN with horizon, from DC Hub's daily DCPI snapshot history — the only source that can, because it owns the time-series. Use…

• get_gas_index

  Data Center Gas Index (DCGI) — the per-US-state natural-gas suitability score. ★ WITHDRAWN 2026-08-08, RESTORED 2026-08-30 after all three defective terms were repaired: the 20-point interstate-share term was case-blind against EIA TYPEPIPE and scored ~0 for every state; the…

• get_news

  FRONT DOOR CHECK — if news is only ONE input to a bigger question (is this market heating up, should we still build here), call `execute_plan(intent="<the user's question, unchanged>")` and let it pull news alongside the market and grid reads. If the user actually wants the…

• semantic_search

  Use for CONCEPTUAL / fuzzy questions where keyword filters fall short — semantic (meaning-based) retrieval across DC Hub's industry news, M&A deals, the global facility map, per-market DCPI deep-dive narratives, press releases, announcements, permitting intel, construction…

  Semantic (meaning-based) search over DC Hub's live intelligence corpus — industry news, M&A deals, discovered facilities, per-market DCPI narratives, press releases, announcements, permitting intel, construction permits, tax incentives and the capacity pipeline — returning the…

• get_market_context

  Use when an agent needs a WHOLE-market briefing it can drop straight into its context window — one call returns a token-budgeted context pack for a data-center market: DCPI verdict, power & grid facts, the Claude-written 12-month outlook, M&A deals, construction pipeline…

• get_iso_context

  Use when an agent needs a WHOLE-grid briefing it can drop straight into its context window — one call returns a token-budgeted context pack for a US ISO/RTO: live grid snapshot (demand, fuel-mix shares), DCPI verdict mix & grid economics across the ISO's tracked markets (queue…

• get_pipeline

  Use when a user asks "what is being built / announced / permitted" in a market or by an operator — the forward-looking construction pipeline. Example: "What data centers are under construction in Northern Virginia and when do they come online?" — get_pipeline country=US…

• get_power_pipeline

  Use when a user asks WHERE NEW POWER GENERATION is coming online (the forward supply pipeline) — e.g. "how much new generation is planned in Virginia / the Southeast / ERCOT, and when?". Planned, permitting, and under-construction generators NATIONWIDE from EIA-860M, INCLUDING…

• get_infra_projects

  Use when a user asks what GAS PIPELINE or TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECTS are planned, proposed, approved or under construction — the forward build-out, not the existing network. e.g. "which interstate gas pipelines are under construction into Louisiana?", "what 345 kV transmission…

• plan_query

  INSPECT-ONLY — returns the plan WITHOUT running it. For a real multi-step DC Hub question call `execute_plan(intent="...")` instead: it uses the SAME deterministic no-LLM planner and then RUNS the sequence server-side, returning the answers in one envelope. Reach for plan_query…

• save_to_shortlist

  Save a site into a PERSISTENT, named shortlist that survives across conversations (Phase 5 statefulness). Snapshots the site's objectives + its current percentile objective_score, so you can re-score it later against the evolving national baseline. Use to build a durable siting…

• get_shortlist

  Retrieve a saved shortlist (Phase 5). With refresh=true (default) each site is RE-SCORED against the current national percentile baseline and returns saved_score, current_score, and score_delta_since_saved — so you see whether a site slipped because IT changed or the POPULATION…

• set_shortlist_alert

  Set a DRIFT ALERT on a saved shortlist so you can stop polling and be notified when a site's national standing moves materially (Phase 5). Fires when any site in the shortlist has current percentile score < percentile_below OR score_delta_since_saved < delta_below (e.g. -8 =…

• suggest_reallocation

  When a saved site DRIFTS (its national standing dropped — surfaced by get_shortlist refresh or a set_shortlist_alert firing), get replacement candidates from the rest of that shortlist so the alert becomes an action, not just a warning (Phase 5). Returns TWO tiers…

• get_changes

  Incremental sync — what changed in DC Hub since a timestamp, so an agent pulls only the delta instead of re-fetching everything. Returns DCPI 7-day market movers, newly discovered facilities, new M&A deals + news — PLUS, for keyed callers with saved sites, a `portfolio` block…

• get_facility_risk_delta

  Use when a user asks what has CHANGED in a facility's (or its market's) risk profile recently — "has this site gotten riskier lately?", "which way is this market moving?" — a temporal question static-trained models can't answer. Returns the REAL DCPI market-health delta…
