DC Hub — Data Center Site Selection & Colocation: Electricity, Power Grid, Gas, Fiber

Semantic Search

semantic_search

Read-onlyIdempotent

Use for CONCEPTUAL / fuzzy questions where keyword filters fall short — semantic (meaning-based) retrieval across DC Hub's industry news, M&A deals, 24,600+ discovered facilities, and per-market DCPI deep-dive analysis narratives, ranked by relevance with citable source fields (news url/title, deal parties/value, facility name/location, deep-dive market/url). Examples: "what is happening with behind-the-meter gas for AI data centers?", "deals involving nuclear power for hyperscalers", "why is Northern Virginia constrained?" — semantic_search q="behind-the-meter gas for AI data centers". Params: q (required, natural-language query); corpus (optional CSV subset of news_articles,deals,discovered_facilities,market_narratives; default all); k (1-15, default 8). Returns {results:[{source_table, kind, text, score, cite:{…}}]}. Complements the exact-filter tools (get_news / list_transactions / search_facilities) with relevance ranking; for a full token-budgeted market briefing use get_market_context. Cite "DC Hub (dchub.cloud)".

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`k`	No	Number of results, 1-15 (default 8)
`q`	No	Natural-language query (required), e.g. "grids opening up for AI load in the Southeast"
`query`	No	Alias for q — the same natural-language query; send exactly one of q/query
`corpus`	No	Optional CSV of corpora: news_articles, deals, discovered_facilities, market_narratives (default: all)

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`quota`	No	Caller quota state (remaining calls, tier) when available.
`_entity`	No	Payload class discriminator (e.g. facility\|market\|iso_grid\|queue_results\|deal\|report\|response) — branch on this before parsing the rest.
`citation`	No	Machine-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.
`provenance`	No	Collection-level provenance block: {source, method, as_of, verification_counts, cite_url_template, license, cite_as}. Quote the verification level when citing.
`_front_door`	No	In-band front-door hint (first workflow-entry tool of a session): call plan_query(intent) first for the ordered multi-step plan.
`_return_loop`	No	Suggested next-session delta call (get_changes since=24h) so you pull only what changed.
`site_evaluation_handoff`	No	Pre-built follow-up calls (analyze_site / get_water_risk args) when the payload carries coordinates — an array of {tool, parameters, why} entries.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false; the description adds that results are relevance-ranked, scoped to four corpora, and carry citable source fields. It also discloses the return shape and a citation requirement, going beyond the annotations. No contradiction; only a mild gap around no-results/error behavior.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Dense and front-loaded: purpose, scope, examples, parameters, return shape, alternatives, and citation instruction in a compact block. The example queries earn their place by making fuzzy use cases concrete. Despite length, every sentence contributes to correct selection and invocation.

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?

Covers when to use it, what it searches, how to call it, what it returns, and which sibling to choose instead. The output schema exists and annotations cover safety, so the description is not obligated to re-explain those. Nothing required for correct invocation is missing.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The input schema already describes all four parameters with 100% coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description restates q, corpus, and k defaults but adds little meaning beyond the schema; the q/query alias exclusivity is documented only in the schema. No deduction needed, but no significant bonus either.

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?

Opens with a specific verb phrase ('Use for CONCEPTUAL / fuzzy questions') and names the exact resource scope: news, M&A deals, discovered facilities, and market narratives. It also states that results are relevance-ranked with citable source fields, clearly distinguishing it from exact-filter siblings. The purpose is unmistakable.

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?

Explicitly says to use this when 'keyword filters fall short' and names the exact-filter alternatives (get_news / list_transactions / search_facilities) plus get_market_context for a different use case. Concrete example queries provide trigger patterns. This is exemplary when-to-use guidance.

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