DC Hub: Data Center, Power Grid & Energy Intelligence

Interconnection Queue

get_interconnection_queue
Read-onlyIdempotent

Check grid interconnection queue congestion by ISO, including queued generation GW and, for ERCOT, data-center load waiting; omit the ISO for an all-ISO snapshot.

Instructions

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-ISO summary object (total, by_iso_count, top). ERCOT also returns its large-load (data-center) queue; other ISOs don't publish one. Keyless: a trimmed preview; free with an email-bound key. Ex: "How deep is ERCOT's queue?" iso optional (US ISO code); free = preview. For demand and headroom on the same ISO also call get_grid_intelligence.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial context beyond the readOnly/idempotent annotations: access tiers (trimmed preview when keyless, full data with an emailed-bound key), the conditional shape of the projects field depending on whether iso is supplied, and the ERCOT-only large-load queue with the note that other ISOs don't publish one. These are exactly the operational quirks an agent cannot infer and would otherwise be surprised by.

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?

Front-loaded with the trigger condition and the primary return value, and every clause carries information. The dense, fragmentary style ("Ex: ...", "iso optional (US ISO code); free = preview") is efficient but borders on shorthand that takes a second pass to parse.

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?

Complete for a single-optional-parameter read tool: annotations carry the safety profile, an output schema exists so return values need no prose, and the description still supplements it with access tiers, conditional response shape, an ERCOT-specific caveat, and a cross-reference. Nothing essential for a correct call 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?

Schema coverage is 100% and the enum of ISO codes is already documented, so the baseline would be 3; the description earns above that by explaining the behavioral consequence of setting iso (per-project rows vs. an all-ISO summary object) and labeling it optional. The trailing "iso optional (US ISO code); free = preview" fragment is terse and partly redundant, which keeps it from a 5.

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 and resource — returns queued generation GW per ISO — and frames the user-facing question it answers (queue congestion, data-center load waiting). An agent can distinguish it from get_grid_intelligence or compare_isos without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives explicit triggering context ("how congested an ISO's queue is", "how much data-center load is waiting") and names a companion call (get_grid_intelligence) for demand/headroom. It does not address overlap with other queue-adjacent siblings like get_refined_queue, get_pipeline, or compare_isos, so the routing is clear but not exhaustive.

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