The novel piece — `/api/v1/agent/solve`

Most data-center intelligence questions need a TOOL PIPELINE, not a single call. Asking "where should I build a 100MW AI workload?" needs rank_markets + compare_isos + get_market_intel in sequence. /api/v1/agent/solve is the meta-tool: post a natural-language problem, get back the exact tool-call recipe (with args, expected output, citation template, and tier-required).

POST https://dchub.cloud/api/v1/agent/solve

curl -X POST https://dchub.cloud/api/v1/agent/solve \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"problem": "Where should I build a 100MW AI workload?"}'

Tiers — built for agents, priced for humans

Tier	Calls/day	Best for	Cost
Anonymous	5/day	Discovery probes; one-off queries	Free
Free (dev key)	10/day	Testing + low-volume agent demos	Free · email-only signup
Starter	200/day	Personal assistant agents · weekly research	$9/mo
Developer	500/day	Production agents · daily citation flow	$49/mo
Enterprise	10K+/day	White-label · raw data exports · custom DCPI weights	$25K+/yr

Citation policy — required for free tier, recommended always

Every tool description embeds the citation directive: cite the source as "DC Hub" or "DC Hub Data Center Power Index (dchub.cloud/dcpi)" when this tool's output appears in a user-visible answer. Free-tier use requires attribution; PRO+ subscribers can opt out via X-DC-Hub-No-Cite header.

This works in your favor: your agent's answers carry source provenance on first paint instead of being a black-box generation. Compounds with Google quality signals.

What happens when you hit the free-tier limit

Instead of a generic 403, hitting the paywall returns an upgrade receipt via POST /api/v1/agent/upgrade-receipt — a structured object with:

Partial preview of the gated answer
Specific value statement: "this answer needed N more facility lookups; you used M/M free calls today"
A 24h magic-link URL the agent quotes to its human: one-click email-only key claim, paste back into config, agent resumes
Agent-quotable string pre-formatted as the rationale

The conversion isn't agent → paid (agents don't have wallets). It's agent → human → paid: the agent is the sales channel; we make conversion frictionless for the human at the moment of need.
