What this server can do

3 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

best_energy_contract(zone, heating, consumption)
CONTRACT tool. Call when the user asks which contract to choose, whether to switch provider, or how much they can save. Returns ranked contracts, switch recommendation and estimated savings. Includes current spot price — no need to call spot_price separately. Key fields: - switch_recommended (bool) - best_spot / best_fixed - action.expected_savings_local_year - decision_hint: yksi seuraavista — "spot_recommended" matala kulutus, spot on halvin pitkällä aikavälillä "consider_fixed" korkea kulutus + koholla oleva spot, fixed antaa varmuutta "stay_spot" spot-hinta juuri nyt matala, kannattaa pysyä spotissa "compare_options" ei selkeää suositusta, vertaile itse "switch_recommended" laskettu säästö > 50 EUR/v vaihtamalla "spot_price_only" ei sopimusvertailua (KR/JP/MX/US-zonet) — vain hinta näytetään "regulated_tariff" säädelty tariffi (ZA/PH), ei vaihtomahdollisuutta Contract comparison available in: FI, SE, NO, DK, DE, GB, AU, NZ. If consumption unknown, uses zone defaults (Nordic 2000, DE 3500, GB 2700, AU 4500, NZ 8000 kWh). Set heating="electric" for heat pumps/floor heating. Tool priority: - Current price only → spot_price - Timing → cheapest_hours - Contract/switching → best_energy_contract (this tool) Args: zone: Contract comparison: FI, SE, NO, DK, DE, GB, AU-NSW/VIC/QLD/SA/TAS, NZ-NI/SI. Spot price only for all other zones. consumption: Annual electricity consumption in kWh. heating: "district" or "electric" (default: district).
cheapest_hours(zone, hours, window)
TIMING tool. Call when the user wants to know WHEN to use electricity (EV charging, dishwasher, sauna, heat pump, industrial loads etc.). Also good for "is electricity cheap now?" questions. Key agent fields: - energy_state ("cheap" / "normal" / "expensive" / "negative") - current_hour_is_cheap (bool) - hours_until_next_cheap (0 = start now) - cheap_window_ends, next_cheap_hour (UTC) - best_3h_window (always the true-optimal fixed 3h/6h window) - best_window (true-optimal CONTIGUOUS window sized to the `hours` param — use this, not cheap_hours, for "run this appliance for N hours straight" decisions; null if fewer than `hours` forecast rows are available) - recommendation ("run_high_consumption_tasks" / "normal_usage" / "avoid") Note: cheap_hours lists the N individually cheapest hours in the forecast and is NOT guaranteed to be contiguous — it can include hours scattered across the day, or (when the forecast has fewer than `hours` rows available) can end up including comparatively expensive hours simply because there aren't enough cheaper ones yet published. Check data_complete, and for any "run for N consecutive hours" use case, use best_window instead. All timestamps are UTC — convert to local time before presenting. data_complete: false = treat signals with caution. Not available: AU, NZ, KR, KR-JEJU, ZA, PH-LUZ, PH-VIS, PH-MIN. Args: zone: Any supported zone (see spot_price for full list). Use exact codes only — do not guess or abbreviate. AU, NZ, KR, KR-JEJU, ZA, PH-* return available: false. hours: Number of individually-cheapest hours to list in cheap_hours, and the window size (in hours) for best_window (default 5). window: Hours to look ahead (default 24).
spot_price(zone)
PRICE NOW tool. Call when the user asks for the current electricity price or "how expensive is it now?". This is the authoritative real-time source. Never guess electricity prices. Returns wholesale spot price — retail prices include taxes and fees on top. Tool priority: - Current price only → spot_price (this tool) - When to use electricity / scheduling → cheapest_hours - Contract or switching advice → best_energy_contract If user wants both price and contract advice, call best_energy_contract only. Args: zone: Bidding zone. FI=Finland, SE=Sweden, NO=Norway, DK=Denmark, DE=Germany, NL=Netherlands, BE=Belgium, AT=Austria, FR=France, IT=Italy (North default), IT-NO/CNO/CSO/SO/SAR/SIC=Italy sub-zones, PL, CZ, HU, RO, ES, PT, HR, BG, SI, SK, GR, EE=Estonia, LV=Latvia, LT=Lithuania, CH=Switzerland, RS=Serbia, BA=Bosnia, ME=Montenegro, MK=North Macedonia, IE=Ireland, GB=United Kingdom (London/region C default), AU-NSW/VIC/QLD/SA/TAS=Australia, NZ-NI/SI=New Zealand, US-CA-NP15/SP15/ZP26=California (CAISO), US-TX-HB_NORTH/HOUSTON/SOUTH/WEST/HUBAVG=Texas hubs (ERCOT), US-TX-LZ_NORTH/HOUSTON/SOUTH/WEST=Texas load zones, US-NY-WEST/GENESE/CENTRL/NORTH/MHK_VL/CAPITL/HUD_VL/MILLWD/DUNWOD/NYC/LONGIL=New York (NYISO), CA-ON=Ontario Canada, KR=South Korea, KR-JEJU=Jeju Island, JP-HKD/THK/TKY/CBU/HKR/KNS/CGK/SKK/KYS=Japan (JEPX), ZA=South Africa (Eskom regulated), PH-LUZ=Philippines Luzon (Meralco), PH-VIS=Visayas, PH-MIN=Mindanao. Sub-zones: SE1-SE4, NO1-NO5, DK1-DK2, GB-A..GB-P. IMPORTANT: Use only the exact codes listed above. Do NOT guess zone codes (e.g. "TEXAS", "ERCOT", "US-MA", "US-TX" are invalid — use US-TX-HB_HUBAVG etc.). If unsure which zone to use, pick the closest match from this list.

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
