The underground agent wraps 68 MCP tools behind a single MCP server (vault-model-mcp). Tools are grouped here by category. The agent is in Phase 7 of active development — the catalog grows as new equipment classes ship.

Vault assembly — 5 tools

Create vaults, add conduit ports, install equipment, export complete vault models.

Conduit routing — 7 tools

Segment creation, conduit runs, conductor placement, bends, trench profiles. Wall-face and elevation placement on padmount enclosures; auto-connect picks optimal port pairs.

Fill & pulling — 7 tools

NEC conduit fill percentage, three-cable jam detection (D/d 2.8–3.2 danger zone), pulling tension through bends, intermediate vault placement when tension exceeds limits.

Ampacity & thermal — 4 tools

Neher-McGrath calculations with soil, depth, and grouping corrections. Emergency ratings and voltage drop.

Sizing & clearances — 5 tools

Vault selection, OSHA / NEC 110.34 working space, bending radius, pad-mount clearances.

Network topology — 8 tools

Unified overhead + underground circuit graphs. Shortest path, alternate feeds, single points of failure. This is where the two domains cross — risers stitch the OH and UG graphs together.

Riser transitions — 3 tools

Dead load calculations, conduit sizing, termination and arrester specs.

What-if studies — 9 tools

Overhead-to-underground conversion, voltage cutover, reconductoring, storm hardening, wildfire risk scoring, circuit reconfiguration.

Fault & protection — 4 tools

Cable fault withstand (ICEA), concentric neutral duty, arc flash (IEEE 1584).

Duct bank design — 4 tools

Layout optimization, multi-circuit derating, concrete encasement, trench dimensions.

Catalogs shipped

  • Primary padmount enclosures — sizes #5, #6, and #7 with port elevations pre-populated, modeled from utility standard drawings
  • Secondary padmount enclosures — modeled from utility standard drawings
  • S&C PMH switchgear — all twelve models PMH-3 through PMH-19, with per-compartment fuse / switch layouts and per-utility compliance rules (new-only / replacement-only / discontinued model gating); auto-pairs companion #7 splice / pull vaults
