FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI execute trades on the ISO New England market?

    No. The AI can only read and analyze price data. You must execute all trades and market actions yourself.

  • 02

    Does the AI update the ISO New England website?

    No. This MCP is read-only. It pulls data from the grid to give to your AI; it cannot change any external records or settings.

  • 03

    How often can I ask for price updates?

    You can ask as often as you like. The AI will use the available tools to fetch the most recent data available from the grid.

  • 04

    Can the AI predict future prices with 100% accuracy?

    No. The AI uses day-ahead data to show you what is projected, but it cannot guarantee future market movements.

  • 05

    Can I use this to monitor specific nodes?

    Yes. You can ask your AI to look at specific LMP data points to monitor volatility at particular locations on the grid.
