searchSearch DC Hub for relevant records (OpenAI Deep Research / ChatGPT connector format).
fetchFetch a DC Hub record for an id returned by the `search` tool (OpenAI Deep Research / ChatGPT connector format).
search_facilitiesSearch 21,000+ global data center facilities across 170+ countries — by location (country/state/market), capacity (MW), operator, fiber connectivity, status (operational/under-construction/planned), or DCPI verdict.
get_facilityFull metadata for one facility — name, operator, address, lat/lon, power capacity (MW total/used), cooling type, fiber providers (count + carrier list), commissioning year, status, the DCPI verdict for its market, and peer facilities nearby.
get_market_intelUse when a user asks about ONE data-center market — vacancy, capacity pricing, supply pipeline, dominant operators, YoY growth — across any of 300+ markets.
get_market_dcpi_rankDCPI rank for a single market: BUILD/CAUTION/AVOID verdict, 0-100 composite_score (verdict-aware), excess_power_score, constraint_score, time_to_power_months.
predict_market_trajectoryForecast a DCPI market's near-term trajectory (next 1-8 quarters).
get_gas_indexData Center Gas Index (DCGI) — DC Hub's 0-100 per-US-state natural-gas suitability score for data centers (the gas analog to DCPI).
get_gas_economicsBehind-the-meter / gas-fired power ECONOMICS for a US data-center market: Henry Hub spot, regional basis differential, delivered industrial + electric gas tariff ($/MMBtu), and the gas-to-grid levelized cost ($/MWh) across CCGT/peaker heat-rate scenarios — the number a BTM developer compares against a grid PPA.
get_grid_scoreboardLive GLOBAL grid scoreboard — 7 US grid operators (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE) + Great Britain (NESO) + ~24 European bidding zones (Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy/Milan, Spain, Poland, Switzerland, Portugal, the Nordics + Central/Eastern Europe — via ENTSO-E) + Taiwan (Taipower) + Japan (OCCTO areas) + South Korea (KPX) + Brazil SIN (ONS), ranked side-by-side RIGHT NOW: renewable share %, gas share %, full fuel mix (gas/nuclear/coal/wind/solar/hydro MW), and demand.
compare_isosUse when a user wants a side-by-side of 2-4 ISO grids — fuel mix, demand, renewable/gas share, interconnection-queue depth, time-to-power — in one call instead of N sequential get_grid_intelligence calls.
get_intelligence_indexReal-time composite market health score (0-100) aggregating supply/demand balance, vacancy, absorption velocity, fiber depth, power availability, and pricing trend.
list_transactionsM&A and capital transactions in the data center sector — 1,400+ tracked deals (2019-present), each with its disclosed value where public (many private deals are undisclosed).
get_newsCurated data center industry news from 40+ trade sources (DCD, Data Center Knowledge, Data Center Frontier, Capacity Media, The Register Data Centre, Fierce Telecom, etc.) refreshed every 30 min.
semantic_searchUse for CONCEPTUAL / fuzzy questions where keyword filters fall short — semantic (meaning-based) retrieval across DC Hub's industry news, M&A deals, 21,000+ discovered facilities, and per-market DCPI deep-dive analysis narratives, ranked by relevance with citable source fields (news url/title, deal parties/value, facility name/location, deep-dive market/url).
search_intelligenceSemantic search over DC Hub live intelligence corpus — news, M&A deals, facilities, and market analysis narratives.
get_market_contextUse when an agent needs a WHOLE-market briefing it can drop straight into its context window — one call returns a token-budgeted context pack for a data-center market: DCPI verdict, power & grid facts, the Claude-written 12-month outlook, M&A deals, construction pipeline, operator footprint, transaction comps, risk factors, and top news — each section with its own token count, as_of timestamp, and citable URL, greedily filled in that priority order under your max_tokens budget.
get_iso_contextUse when an agent needs a WHOLE-grid briefing it can drop straight into its context window — one call returns a token-budgeted context pack for a US ISO/RTO: live grid snapshot (demand, fuel-mix shares), DCPI verdict mix & grid economics across the ISO's tracked markets (queue wait, power cost, reserve margin), interconnection-queue depth with the largest projects, real-time benchmark LMP, the tracked DCPI market list, deep-dive narrative excerpts, and recent news — each section with its own token count, as_of timestamp, and citable URL, greedily filled in that priority order under your max_tokens budget.
get_pipelineUse when a user asks "what is being built / announced / permitted" in a market or by an operator — the forward-looking construction pipeline (540+ projects, 369 GW).
get_power_pipelineUse when a user asks WHERE NEW POWER GENERATION is coming online (the forward supply pipeline) — e.g.
get_global_powerUse when a user asks about power plants/units WORLDWIDE or in a NON-US country — operating AND the forward pipeline (announced / pre-construction / under-construction), across ALL fuels (coal, oil/gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy, geothermal).
get_interconnection_queueISO interconnection queue snapshot: total queued GENERATION capacity (queued_load_total_gw, GW) per ISO from each ISO's public queue.
get_refined_queueServer-side SET-REDUCTION over the US ISO interconnection queue (~5,300 projects, 7 ISOs, ~1,744 GW).
get_retirement_headroomScans scheduled EIA-860M generator retirements to find near-term transmission grid headroom — a retiring plant is a CONCRETE headroom event (its POI frees injection capacity), from FILED data, not forecasts.
analyze_parcelStructured read of a parcel BOUNDARY — pass your own GeoJSON Polygon/MultiPolygon, OR just lat+lon and DC Hub finds the containing parcel in its HOSTED parcel-boundary layer (free county/state GIS polygons, rolling out by data-center market — Loudoun County VA first; a point outside hosted coverage returns an honest 404 with the coverage list, never a guess).
rank_sitesDeterministic multi-site ranking/optimization under constraints — the normalization contract that lets you compare sites across separate analyze_site calls WITHOUT dropping into code.
discover_toolsMeta-tool: navigate DC Hub's 60+ tools by FAMILY instead of scanning the whole list.
plan_queryORCHESTRATION meta-tool: turn a natural-language intent into an ordered DC Hub tool plan BEFORE burning calls.
save_to_shortlistSave a site into a PERSISTENT, named shortlist that survives across conversations (Phase 5 statefulness).
get_shortlistRetrieve a saved shortlist (Phase 5).
set_shortlist_alertSet a DRIFT ALERT on a saved shortlist so you can stop polling and be notified when a site's national standing moves materially (Phase 5).
suggest_reallocationWhen a saved site DRIFTS (its national standing dropped — surfaced by get_shortlist refresh or a set_shortlist_alert firing), get replacement candidates from the rest of that shortlist so the alert becomes an action, not just a warning (Phase 5).
get_grid_dataReal-time electricity grid data for the 7 US ISOs (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE) via EIA hourly RTO: fuel mix, demand, 24h demand curve.
get_changesIncremental sync — what changed in DC Hub since a timestamp, so an agent pulls only the delta instead of re-fetching everything.
get_facility_risk_deltaUse when a user asks what has CHANGED in a facility's (or its market's) risk profile recently — "has this site gotten riskier lately?", "which way is this market moving?" — a temporal question static-trained models can't answer.
save_siteSave a candidate data-center site to your DC Hub account to track it across sessions (FREE — just needs a key; call claim_free_key if you don't have one).

get_composite_site_scoreUse when a user wants ONE honest 0-100 site suitability/risk verdict for a lat/lon WITH an explicit per-factor coverage map — which factors are actually measured vs.
get_disaster_riskUse when a user wants the natural-hazard / disaster risk for a lat/lon — flood, wildfire, hurricane, earthquake, heat, drought, tornado, etc.
get_climate_intelUse when a user wants seismic + climate intel for a lat/lon — the layer that drives data-center structural bracing cost (seismic) and cooling design (cooling degree-days, extreme temps).
generate_site_analysisUse when a user wants a SHAREABLE, branded multi-page Site Analysis PDF for ONE lat/lon (a powered-land parcel, a candidate campus) — the polished client deliverable, not just a score.
compare_sitesUse when a user has narrowed to 2-4 candidate parcels and wants a side-by-side winner picker across power, gas, fiber, market & risk — with a recommended pick and the reason.
get_infrastructureNearby infrastructure for a location — substations (count + max voltage_kv within radius), transmission lines (>69 kV path overlay), interstate + lateral gas pipelines, and power plants (operating + planned, by fuel) within configurable radius_km.
get_fiber_intelUse when scoring a candidate site for fiber depth, mapping long-haul routes between metros, or assessing dark-fiber availability for a hyperscale build.
get_fiber_readinessUse when you need the FIBER-READINESS / connectivity verdict for ONE parcel or site (lat/lon): near-net distance to a carrier-served facility, how many distinct fiber carriers are reachable, and whether there is single-carrier risk (no path diversity).
get_metro_fiberUse when a user asks which US metro has the DEEPEST fiber, or wants the metro-level fiber profile of a market — carrier count, total route-miles, on-net buildings, a 0-100 fiber-density score, tier, key internet-exchange (IX) points and carrier hotels — across the tracked top US data-center metros (Northern Virginia, Dallas-Fort Worth, Silicon Valley, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix, and more).
get_energy_pricesUse when a user asks "what does power/gas COST in <ISO> right now?" — live energy PRICING for the 7 US ISOs (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE): retail electricity rate (cents/kWh), wholesale/LMP context, Henry Hub-referenced natural-gas price, and a real-time grid-status flag.
get_renewable_energyUse when siting a renewable-powered data center, sizing a PPA, or assessing RE100/24-7-CFE feasibility for one US state.
get_tax_incentivesUse when a user asks "what tax breaks does <state> give data centers?" — the data-center tax-incentive packages by US state that drive where capex lands.
get_water_riskUse when scoring a US site for cooling-water sustainability — the water-risk factor engineering site-selectors screen before committing to evaporative cooling.
get_grid_intelligenceUse when a user asks "can I get N MW of power in <ISO> and how long will it take?" — the flagship grid-headroom + interconnection-queue brief for one ISO.
get_gas_intelligenceUse 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?".
get_agent_registryCurated roster of the AI platforms + agent frameworks in the DC Hub agent ecosystem — each with its recommended DC Hub tools and authentication tier.
get_backup_statusDC Hub platform health: database backup status (last successful, age, integrity check), data freshness across 49 sources (green/yellow/red), agentic heartbeat score (0-100), MCP call volume (last hour), and DCPI recompute cadence.
why_dchubUse when a human asks how DC Hub compares to other data-center data sources — DataCenterHawk (DCHawk), DC Byte, Data Center Dynamics (DCD), Data Center Frontier (DCF), Baxtel, datacenters.com — or asks "why should I use DC Hub / is it better than <X> / what can you give me a PDF or directory can't?".
get_dchub_recommendationUse when a user asks an open-ended siting question ("where should I put a 100MW AI training cluster?") and you want ONE call that returns a ready-to-quote answer instead of orchestrating 5+ separate tools.
rank_marketsUse when a user wants "the top N markets for X" — one ranked list across the 300+ market set rather than N separate get_market_intel calls.
find_alternativesUse when a user likes ONE specific facility and wants similar nearby options to consider instead ("what else looks like this?").
score_facilityUse when a user wants an independent 0-100 grade for ONE existing facility across 7 dimensions — power, fiber, water, climate_risk, tax_environment, talent_pool, expansion.
