Permitting & Moratorium Intel
get_permitting_intelData center PERMITTING & MORATORIUM intelligence — curated, HUMAN-VERIFIED jurisdiction records: moratoriums, zoning restrictions, tax changes, utility pauses. Each record is stage-tagged (read the detail prefix: "Enacted" / "Proposed" / "Speculative"), with jurisdiction, state/country, the source article URL, and map coordinates. The permitting-risk axis for site selection that no other machine-readable source serves — e.g. New York's statewide >=50MW moratorium, county-level halts. FREE and full for every caller. Answers "is there a moratorium where I want to build", "which jurisdictions just tightened data-center zoning". Try: get_permitting_intel class=moratorium — or state=MN. Rendered live as the Permitting & Zoning layer on https://dchub.cloud/land-power-map. Do NOT use for tax INCENTIVE programs by state (use get_tax_incentives); this tracks restrictions and risk per jurisdiction.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| quota | No | Caller quota state (remaining calls, tier) when available. | |
| _entity | No | Payload class discriminator (e.g. facility|market|iso_grid|queue_results|deal|report|response) — branch on this before parsing the rest. | |
| citation | No | Machine-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. | |
| provenance | No | Collection-level provenance block: {source, method, as_of, verification_counts, cite_url_template, license, cite_as}. Quote the verification level when citing. | |
| _front_door | No | In-band front-door hint (first workflow-entry tool of a session): call plan_query(intent) first for the ordered multi-step plan. | |
| _return_loop | No | Suggested next-session delta call (get_changes since=24h) so you pull only what changed. | |
| site_evaluation_handoff | No | Pre-built follow-up calls (analyze_site / get_water_risk args) when the payload carries coordinates — an array of {tool, parameters, why} entries. |
