What It Can Answer
- PJM marginal ELCC accreditation fractions by auction document, delivery year, and resource class.
- Verbatim PJM class names plus a stable normalized class-family mapping.
- Final, preliminary, and incremental-auction ratings as distinct document identities without reconciliation.
- Raw PDF page-row evidence for any returned detail citation.
Represented Facts
PJM-published marginal Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) class ratings, as a fraction of nameplate capacity, for each resource class and delivery year in each linked final Base Residual Auction document, Incremental Auction document, or preliminary multi-year outlook. Document identity is a dimension: preliminary and final ratings for the same delivery year are separate cited atoms and are never merged, preferred, reconciled, or corrected by this block.

Local MCP Setup
Some MCP clients launch servers from the user's home directory or ignore a configured cwd. Use uv run --directory so the server always starts from the repository project.
{
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--directory",
"/absolute/path/to/OSINT",
"python",
"-m",
"core.mcp_server"
]
}
Leave EXASCALE_PARQUET_BASE / EXASCALE_RAW_BASE unset: the one server hosts every data point's tools, and with no override it resolves each block's promoted snapshots and raw archive from the repository layout. Setting either env var points ALL tools at one directory — a per-block path breaks every other block's tools. They exist only for single-source sandboxes and tests.

Accepted fact policy:
- Query responses contain accepted, gate-passed facts only.
- Gate, monitor, and audit quality signals are internal controls, not agent-facing answer caveats.
- If a source snapshot is not fit to serve, the source must fail closed before it reaches this API.
Metric metadata:
| Metric | Category | Unit | Aggregation | Additive Across Groups | Authoritative Total | Definition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
avg_elcc_rating |
accreditation | fraction of one | average | false | summary.totals.avg_elcc_rating |
Average marginal ELCC rating over the current result scope. |
min_elcc_rating |
accreditation | fraction of one | minimum | false | summary.totals.min_elcc_rating |
Minimum marginal ELCC rating over the current result scope. |
max_elcc_rating |
accreditation | fraction of one | maximum | false | summary.totals.max_elcc_rating |
Maximum marginal ELCC rating over the current result scope. |
source_record_count |
records | count | count source records | true | summary.totals.source_record_count |
ELCC class-rating atom count over the current result scope. |
Rollup rules:
summary.totals.<metric>is the authoritative total for the full matched query.- Grouped row metrics may be summed only when
additive_across_groupsistrue. - Do not sum grouped values for these non-additive metrics:
avg_elcc_rating,min_elcc_rating,max_elcc_rating.

describe_power_capacity_accreditation_pjm_v1to inspect valid filters, groupings, metrics, and citation fields. - Call
query_power_capacity_accreditation_pjm_v1with bounded JSON params. - If the answer needs proof, pass a returned row-level
