DC Hub — Data Center & Energy Intelligence

Get Shortlist

get_shortlist
Read-onlyIdempotent

Re-score a saved shortlist against the current baseline to see saved vs current scores and identify whether a site slipped due to its own change or a population shift.

Instructions

Retrieve a saved shortlist (Phase 5). With refresh=true (default) each site is RE-SCORED against the current national percentile baseline and returns saved_score, current_score, and score_delta_since_saved — so you see whether a site slipped because IT changed or the POPULATION did. The reliable way to maintain a siting campaign across days/weeks. Scoped to your API key.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameNoThe shortlist name to fetch
refreshNotrue (default) = re-score every site against the CURRENT baseline + return drift deltas; false = return the saved snapshots only

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.
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations declare read-only, but description adds substantial behavioral context: re-scoring against current baseline, returning saved_score/current_score/delta, and interpreting whether site or population changed. Also notes API key scoping.

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?

Four sentences, front-loaded with main purpose, then nuances. Efficient, but the phrase 'The reliable way...' is slightly promotional yet still adds usage context.

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?

With output schema present and annotations robust, description covers purpose, refresh behavior, delta interpretation, and scoping. No significant gaps 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.

Parameters3/5

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

Schema covers both parameters fully (100% coverage) with descriptions including default and behavior. Description reinforces refresh semantics and adds interpretive value about delta meaning, but schema already does heavy lifting.

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 'Retrieve' with resource 'saved shortlist' and clarifies scope with refresh behavior. It distinguishes from sibling tools like save_to_shortlist and set_shortlist_alert by focusing on retrieval and re-scoring.

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?

Explicitly frames tool as 'The reliable way to maintain a siting campaign across days/weeks,' giving clear context for when to use. Does not name alternatives explicitly but implies its role versus save/alert tools.

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