Permitting & Moratorium Intel

get_permitting_intel
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve human-verified data center permitting restrictions, moratoriums, and zoning changes by jurisdiction, with stage tags and source URLs, for site selection risk assessment.

Instructions

Data center PERMITTING & MORATORIUM intelligence — curated, HUMAN-VERIFIED jurisdiction records: moratoriums, zoning restrictions, tax changes, utility pauses. Each record is stage-tagged (read the detail prefix: "Enacted" / "Proposed" / "Speculative"), with jurisdiction, state/country, the source article URL, and map coordinates. The permitting-risk axis for site selection that no other machine-readable source serves — e.g. New York's statewide >=50MW moratorium, county-level halts. FREE and full for every caller. Try: get_permitting_intel class=moratorium — or state=MN. Rendered live as the Permitting & Zoning layer on https://dchub.cloud/land-power-map. Do NOT use for tax INCENTIVE programs by state (use get_tax_incentives); this tracks restrictions and risk per jurisdiction.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
classNoRecord class: "moratorium" | "zoning" | "tax" | "utility_pause" (optional)
stateNoUS state filter, e.g. NY or MN (optional)

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.
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.
Behavior4/5

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

Adds important context beyond annotations: records are human-verified, stage-tagged, and free for all callers. Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so description complements with usage details.

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?

Description is informative but slightly verbose; front-loaded with purpose and key details. Every sentence adds value, but some redundancy could be trimmed.

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 output schema exists, description covers all necessary context: record types, tagging, data fields, and a link to rendered map. Sufficient for a read-only retrieval tool.

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 has 100% coverage, but description adds value by showing example parameter values ('class=moratorium', 'state=MN') and explaining class options beyond enum definitions.

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?

Description uses specific verb 'tracks' and resource 'permitting & moratorium intelligence', listing exact record types. Explicitly distinguishes from sibling tool get_tax_incentives, making purpose crystal clear.

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 states when to use (permitting risk) and when not to (tax incentives, refer to get_tax_incentives). Provides example queries like 'class=moratorium' and 'state=MN'.

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