DC Hub: Data Center, Power Grid & Energy Intelligence

Plan Query

plan_query
Read-onlyIdempotent

Preview and audit a data-center question’s deterministic execution plan before running it, showing tool routing, workflow steps, confidence scores, and replay details.

Instructions

Use this when you want to see the plan for a data center question without running it (execute_plan runs the same planner and returns the answers). Reach for plan_query only to review, log, diff or audit a plan before executing it yourself. Deterministic keyword routing over the tool registry — no LLM, no network, same intent always returns the same plan (free). Returns _entity=query_plan {best_tool, intent_confidence + workflow_confidence (dual 0-1: question-read vs executability), reason, planner_rationale, recommended_sequence:[{step, tool, depends_on, estimated_calls, why, args_hint}], execution_waves (steps grouped into concurrency waves), execution_strategy.parallel_groups, execution_estimate {estimated_calls, estimated_latency_ms, parallelizable}, alternatives (each with when + rejected_because), coverage_notes, matched_classes} plus a versioned replay (schema_version 1): planner_version, decisions:[{id, step, kind, status, decision, rationale, decision_confidence, depends_on}], rejected:[{id, tool, reason}], execution_graph:{waves, parallel_groups} — auditable and machine-readable, safe to log and diff across versions.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
intentYesNatural-language description of what you are trying to find out, e.g. "rank markets for a 200MW AI campus" or "how much power is available in ERCOT"
contextNoOptional structured hints: {lat, lon, iso, market, capacity_mw, candidate_id, state (2-letter), since} — sharpens args_hint values and routing (e.g. lat/lon boosts the site-analysis route)

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnly/idempotent/destructive annotations, it discloses determinism ('no LLM, no network, same intent always returns the same plan'), cost ('free'), and the versioned `replay` block being safe to log and diff across versions. This is meaningful behavioral context the annotations do not carry.

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 usage guidance is tight and front-loaded, but the bulk is a long enumeration of return fields (query_plan internals, replay, decisions, execution_graph) that overlaps heavily with the existing output schema. For a two-parameter tool this is verbose relative to what an agent needs to select and call it.

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?

For a read-only planning tool with a full output schema and complete annotations, the definition leaves nothing needed for correct invocation: purpose, alternative, determinism, cost, and auditability are all covered.

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%, so both `intent` and `context` are already documented with examples in the schema. The description adds no syntax or format beyond what the schema provides, matching the baseline of 3 when the schema does the 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?

Specific verb+resource ('show the plan for a data center question without running it') with an explicit contrast to the sibling execute_plan. An agent can distinguish the two without opening either schema.

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?

States when to use it ('review, log, diff or audit a plan before executing it yourself') and names the alternative that actually runs it (execute_plan). Both the condition and the excluded case are explicit.

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