Grid Transition Radar
grid_transition_radarRead-onlyIdempotent
Forward-looking "where is the next hyperscale-friendly grid emerging" radar. Returns the US markets + ISOs with the strongest near-term emergence signal (BUILD verdict + excess-power headroom + short time-to-power), an ISO rollup, and a grid-headroom leaderboard. With a paid key, also the transition thesis: which ISO is opening up and why. The predictive counter to retrospective "where capacity landed" reports. Answers "where should I be looking next", "which market is about to become buildable". Try: grid_transition_radar max_months=24. Do NOT use for the current ISO queue snapshot (use get_interconnection_queue) or a present-day market ranking (use rank_markets); this is the forward-looking emergence radar.

Output Schema
TableJSON 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. |
