Get Global Power

get_global_power
Read-onlyIdempotent

Use when a user asks about power plants/units WORLDWIDE or in a NON-US country — operating AND the forward pipeline (announced / pre-construction / under-construction), across ALL fuels (coal, oil/gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy, geothermal). Global Energy Monitor Global Integrated Power Tracker: 182,000+ geolocated units across 170+ countries, each with fuel, capacity (MW), status, start year, operator/owner and lat/lng. Filter by country (e.g. Germany, India, Brazil, Japan), fuel (comma-union: coal, oil/gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro), status, pipeline=true (JUST the forward set: announced + pre-construction + construction), bbox (minLng,minLat,maxLng,maxLat), or min_mw. Returns a summary (total MW by fuel + count by status) plus the largest units. Answers "what power is being built in India", "how much coal is still running in Vietnam". Try: get_global_power country=India pipeline=true. Do NOT use for US grid telemetry/headroom (use get_grid_intelligence / get_grid_scoreboard) or the US planned-generator feed (use get_power_pipeline) — this is the GLOBAL asset inventory.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bboxNoViewport filter as minLng,minLat,maxLng,maxLat
fuelNoFuel/type filter, comma-separated for a union: coal, oil/gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy, geothermal
limitNoMax results to return (1-500; default varies by tool)
min_mwNoMinimum unit capacity in MW
statusNoStatus substring filter, e.g. operating, construction, pre-construction, announced
countryNoCountry/area name to filter, e.g. Germany, India, Brazil, Japan
pipelineNotrue = ONLY the forward pipeline (announced + pre-construction + under-construction)

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
quotaNoCaller quota state (remaining calls, tier) when available.
_entityNoPayload class discriminator (e.g. facility|market|iso_grid|queue_results|deal|report|response) — branch on this before parsing the rest.
citationNoMachine-readable citation: how to attribute DC Hub (dchub.cloud) for this payload. Normally an OBJECT {source, url, license, cite_as, retrieved_at}; a bare string is accepted and carries the attribution line itself.
provenanceNoCollection-level provenance block: {source, method, as_of, verification_counts, cite_url_template, license, cite_as}. Quote the verification level when citing.
_front_doorNoIn-band front-door hint (first workflow-entry tool of a session): call plan_query(intent) first for the ordered multi-step plan.
_return_loopNoSuggested next-session delta call (get_changes since=24h) so you pull only what changed.
site_evaluation_handoffNoPre-built follow-up calls (analyze_site / get_water_risk args) when the payload carries coordinates — an array of {tool, parameters, why} entries.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive; the description adds valuable behavioral context: data source (GEM Global Integrated Power Tracker), scope (182k units, 170+ countries), and the response shape (summary plus largest units rather than a full dump). No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Long but front-loaded: trigger, scope, data source, filters, output shape, examples, and exclusions all serve a purpose. Minor filler like 'Examples help' and a couple of typos keep it just shy of a perfect score.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 7 optional params, an output schema, and rich annotations, the description covers everything needed for selection and invocation: when to use, what it returns, how filtering works, and which siblings to use instead. Nothing essential is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema has 100% description coverage, so the baseline is already adequate. The description adds semantics: comma-union fuel filtering, bbox coordinate order, pipeline=true meaning announced+pre-construction+construction, and worked country examples. It doesn't add much about limit, but the schema covers that.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a concrete trigger: power plants/units worldwide or in a NON-US country, covering operating and pipeline across all fuels. It explicitly distinguishes itself from US-specific, pipeline-specific, and project-level sibling tools, so an agent can select it correctly without opening other schemas.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides explicit when-to-use guidance ('Use when...'), explicit when-not-to-use ('Do NOT use for US-specific grid questions...'), named alternatives (get_grid_data/get_grid_intelligence, get_power_pipeline), and a boundary between high-level comparisons and project-level detail (get_facility/search). This is model routing guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation1/5

With 85 tools, several families are heavily overlapping: semantic_search and search_intelligence are explicitly documented as the same retrieval with different call shapes, save_site and save_to_shortlist both persist sites, and list_saved_sites and get_shortlist both read saved sites. Additionally, site scoring is split across analyze_site, get_composite_site_score, score_facility, and rank_sites, making correct tool selection very difficult for an agent.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names are snake_case and mostly readable, but conventions are mixed: many use get_* (get_facility, get_grid_intelligence), others use verb phrases (analyze_site, compare_isos, rank_markets), and some are bare noun phrases (ai_capacity_index, hyperscaler_deals, grid_transition_radar, site_selection_canvas). The search family alone uses search, search_facilities, semantic_search, and search_intelligence with no consistent pattern.

Tool Count1/5

85 tools is an extreme count for any MCP server, far beyond the 3-15 well-scoped range and above the 50+ threshold described as an extreme mismatch. Even with a wide domain like data-center siting, this many tools overwhelms agent context and makes selection costly.

Completeness4/5

The domain surface is exceptionally broad: siting, grid, gas, fiber, water, climate, tax, permitting, deals, news, facilities, saved shortlists, alerts, webhooks, key management, and research dossiers are all covered with connected workflows. Minor gaps exist, such as no delete or update for saved sites and no pause/resume for standing intents, but these are workable rather than blocking.
