DC Hub Intelligence

Get Gas Intelligence

get_gas_intelligence
Read-onlyIdempotent

Assess gas-fired and behind-the-meter power economics for a US state: pipeline access, live Henry Hub price, gas-to-grid $/MWh, and grid gas share.

Instructions

Use when a human asks about gas-fired or behind-the-meter power economics for a data center in a US state — "is gas power cheaper than the grid in Texas?", "what is the gas access + pipeline situation in Virginia?". The GAS analogue of get_grid_intelligence: fuses the Data Center Gas Index (DCGI), live Henry Hub, gas-to-grid $/MWh across heat-rate scenarios, pipeline-operator presence, and the live grid gas share into one per-STATE brief. Params: region (US state code or name, e.g. "TX" | "Texas" | "Virginia"). Returns: {region, region_name, gas_access (pipeline counts + operators — PRESENCE not firm capacity), henry_hub_usd_mmbtu (live), basis_usd_mmbtu (synthetic-labeled), delivered_price_usd_mmbtu (null where the tariff table is sparse — surfaced honestly, never fabricated), live_grid_gas_share_pct, pipeline_presence (operators + parent midstreams), data_basis (per-field provenance/confidence), omitted_no_fabrication, dcgi_status, gas_to_grid_status}. ★ ★ TWO DIFFERENT STATES, do not merge them. dcgi_score and dcgi_verdict were withdrawn 2026-08-08 and RESTORED 2026-08-30 once all three defective terms were repaired — they are returned again, but a figure published before 2026-08-08 is from a different index and must not be compared with one published now (/api/v1/dcgi/methodology corrections). gas_to_grid_usd_per_mwh and the behind-the-meter-vs-grid delta were WITHDRAWN 2026-08-08 and RESTORED 2026-09-27 under one burner-tip price rule (EIA electric-power gas, trailing-12-month mean; burner_tip carries the price, window and — for a state EIA withholds — the reason the $/MWh is null). A $/MWh published before 2026-09-27 is not comparable. dcgi_status and gas_to_grid_status carry the current state of each — read them rather than assuming both moved together. DO NOT quote a DCGI score cached before 2026-08-30 or a $/MWh cached before 2026-09-27. Everything else in this brief — live Henry Hub, live ISO gas share, pipeline and parent-midstream presence — is unaffected and is what this tool is now for. Every field carries a data_basis label; gas storage / LNG / firm pipeline capacity are deliberately OMITTED (no feed). Do NOT use for electricity grid headroom (use get_grid_intelligence) or the DCGI score alone (use get_gas_index).

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.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), but the description adds substantial non-obvious behavior: per-field provenance labels, honest nulls where the tariff table is sparse, deliberate omission of storage/LNG/firm capacity, and index-version comparability caveats. Some of the versioning prose is redundant with itself, but the substance goes well beyond the annotations.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The open ('Use when...') and the close ('Do NOT use for...') are well front-loaded and correctly placed, but the middle is a bloated version-history digression that repeats the withdrawn/restored dates for DCGI and gas-to-grid across several sentences, restating the same 'do not compare cached figures' warning three times.

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?

Despite an output schema existing, the description supplies the qualitative framing an agent needs for this unusually caveat-heavy tool: what is omitted and why, what is synthetic vs live, and which status fields to read before trusting a figure. Nothing essential to 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?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the description restates region with example values ('TX' | 'Texas' | 'Virginia'), adding no syntax or format detail beyond the schema. It also never mentions the 'state' alias parameter the schema exposes, so no compensation for the ambiguity between the two keys.

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?

States a specific verb+resource (fuses DCGI, live Henry Hub, gas-to-grid $/MWh, pipeline presence, grid gas share into one per-state brief) and explicitly frames itself as 'The GAS analogue of get_grid_intelligence,' which instantly separates it from get_grid_intelligence and get_gas_index.

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?

Opens with an explicit trigger ('Use when a human asks about gas-fired or behind-the-meter power economics for a data center in a US state') plus two concrete example questions, and closes with explicit exclusions routing the agent to get_grid_intelligence for grid headroom and get_gas_index for the DCGI score alone.

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