estimate_emissions
Pack: climatiq · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/climatiq/mcp
Calculate kgCO₂e for an activity. Pass an emission_factor with at minimum activity_id (from search_factors) or id, plus the required parameters (e.g., { energy: 200, energy_unit: "kWh" }). Returns CO₂e + breakdown.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
emission_factor | object | yes | Selector object — at minimum {activity_id: ”…”} or {id: ”…”}. May add region, year, source for disambiguation. |
parameters | object | yes | Activity quantities matching the factor’s required unit type (e.g., {energy:200, energy_unit:“kWh”}). |
