• get_interconnection_queue

  Use this when the user asks about grid interconnection queues: how congested an ISO's queue is or how much data-center load is waiting. Returns queued generation GW per ISO. The projects field changes shape: with iso= it is an array of per-project rows; without iso it is an all-I

• get_refined_queue

  Use this when you need interconnection queue projects filtered server-side. Instead of pulling the raw queue into context to filter (token-expensive, error-prone), push the predicates to the data layer and get back ONLY the survivors. Filter by min_mw, max_ttp_months (ISO-level a

• get_retirement_headroom

  Use this when the user asks where retiring power plants free grid capacity: scans EIA-860M retirements to find near-term transmission grid headroom — a retiring plant is a CONCRETE headroom event (its POI frees injection capacity), from FILED data, not forecasts. Returns _entity=

• get_hosting_capacity

  Use this when the user asks how many MW a distribution feeder can take: utility-published hosting capacity — the MW a NAMED distribution feeder can actually take, straight from the utility's own hosting-capacity GIS. Published records from many utilities (e.g. Con Edison, Nationa

  Use this when you are unsure which DC Hub data center, power or grid tool fits: lists tools by family. Returns _entity=tool_families — a front_door block (execute_plan for any multi-capability question, get_changes to refresh) plus families with a when-to-use note + their tools (

• plan_query

  Use this when you want to see the plan for a data center question without running it (execute_plan runs the same planner and returns the answers). Reach for plan_query only to review, log, diff or audit a plan before executing it yourself. Deterministic keyword routing over the t

• save_to_shortlist

  Use this when the user wants to keep a data center site on a 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. U

  Use this when the user wants to see a saved data center site shortlist. 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 beca

• set_shortlist_alert

  Use this when the user wants a drift alert on a saved site 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

• suggest_reallocation

  Use this when a saved data center 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

  Use this when the user asks how a data center facility's (or its market's) power risk changed recently — "has this site gotten riskier lately?". Returns the REAL DCPI market-health delta (excess-power score change over the window, direction improving/worsening/flat) from DC Hub's

• save_site

  Use this when the user wants to save a data-center site to track it. Needs a key (free, via claim_free_key); keyless returns auth_required. Save a candidate data-center site to your DC Hub account to track it across sessions. Give lat + lon (plus optional name, state, market, tar

• list_saved_sites

  Use this when the user asks to see their saved data center sites. Needs a key (free, via claim_free_key); keyless returns auth_required, not an empty list. Use when a user asks to see or review their saved DC Hub shortlist in-chat, or wants to know what moved on it. Example: "Wha

• set_market_alert

  Use this when the user wants alerts on a data center market's DCPI power score: subscribes to movement alerts (free with a key) — get notified when its Excess-Power / Constraint score moves. On the free tier, email alerts are delivered to the email your human bound via bind_email

  Use this when the user asks for a weekly data center market email: subscribes them to a free digest of what changed in the markets and sites they queried (DCPI movers, new facilities, deals, news). DOUBLE opt-in + consent-safe: we email a one-click CONFIRM link, the human only ge

• set_site_alert

  Use this when the user wants an email watch on a saved data center site (free with a key) — DC Hub emails you when that site’s DCPI score, grid capacity, or nearby facilities move, so you don’t have to keep re-checking. On the free tier the alert is delivered to your human’s boun

  Use this when the user wants a shareable data center Site Analysis PDF for ONE lat/lon (a powered-land parcel, a candidate campus) — the polished client deliverable, not just a score. Example: "Make the Site Analysis PDF for this Carrier Mills parcel, 150 MW, for TON Infrastructu

• compare_sites

  Use this when the user has 2-4 candidate data center sites and asks which is best. Pass locations as "lat,lon;lat,lon" and optional capacity_mw. Returns each site's analyze_site scores side by side plus a recommended winner and why. Keyless returns each site's verdict band and po

• get_infrastructure

  Use this when the user asks what power infrastructure is near a site: substations (count + max voltage_kv within radius), transmission lines (>69 kV path overlay), interstate + lateral gas pipelines, and power plants (operating + planned, by fuel) within configurable radius_km. R

• get_fiber_intel

  Use this when the user asks about fiber routes, carriers or connectivity for a market: long-haul, metro, dark or IX routes. Filter by carrier, route_type, market. Returns GeoJSON routes: carrier, type, fiber count, lit capacity, distance. Free callers get a sample of routes, not

• get_fiber_readiness

  Use this when the user asks whether one data center site (lat/lon) is fiber-ready: near-net distance to a carrier-served facility, how many distinct fiber carriers are reachable, and whether there is single-carrier risk (no path diversity). This is the parcel connectivity answer

• get_subsea_cables

  Use this when the user asks about subsea (submarine) cable landings near a site, or the cable catalogue. The physical internet crossing an ocean lands at a finite number of points, and distance to one is a real siting factor for anything latency- or transit-sensitive. Pass lat+lo

  Use this when the user asks about internet exchange (IX) and peering density for a data center site (PeeringDB). Pass lat+lon for the PEERING PROFILE around that point: facilities_nearby, a 0-100 score with its level, total_ix_presence, total_networks, and top_facilities each wit

• get_metro_fiber

  Use this when the user asks which US metro has the deepest fiber, or wants a market's fiber profile — carrier count, total route-miles, on-net buildings, a 0-100 fiber-density score, tier, key internet-exchange (IX) points and carrier hotels — across the tracked top US data-cente

• get_energy_prices

  Use this when the user asks what electricity or natural gas costs for a data center in a US ISO or state ("what does power cost in ERCOT?", "retail rate in Virginia?"); price alone does not rank sites (the cheapest ISO may have no headroom; execute_plan weighs both). Returns EIA
