What It Can Answer

Represented Facts

Data Point Contract

Does not answer:

REST Surface

MCP Surface

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.

Ranking (how order_by / top_n / order join — order_by ranks groups by a metric, never a group_by dimension; top_n needs both a group_by and an order_by):

  "order": {
    "default": "desc",

  },
  "top_n": {
    "note": "Keeps the top N groups by order_by; the rest fold into one (other) remainder (additive metrics sum into it, non-additive ones are nulled) so the result still reconciles to summary.totals.",

Agent Workflow

  1. Call list_capabilities_v1 and select power.capacity_market_pjm.
  2. Call describe_power_capacity_market_pjm_v1 to inspect valid filters, groupings, metrics, and citation fields.
  3. Call query_power_capacity_market_pjm_v1 with bounded JSON params.
  4. If the answer needs proof, pass a returned row-level citation object to get_source_evidence_v1.
  5. Answer with the resolved as_of and relevant citations. Present returned metrics as authoritative for their declared source, snapshot, grain, and aggregation.
