What compute_bored_pile_wall does on Civilquants
AI agents call compute_bored_pile_wall to retrieve information from Civilquants without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why compute_bored_pile_wall is rated Low
This is a parametric estimating/computation tool that calculates Bills of Quantities for a bored pile wall assembly. It reads inputs and returns computed estimates without modifying, deleting, or executing anything externally. The primary action is a calculation/query returning structured cost or quantity data.
From the tool's definition 'Paid tier only... returns TIER_INSUFFICIENT — sign up at https://civilquants.com/pricing' and 'Cast-in-place bored concrete pile retaining wall... Bills of Quantities for civils assemblies' — the tool computes/estimates quantities

The rule that runs compute_bored_pile_wall safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Civilquants, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For compute_bored_pile_wall, this is the rule to start with:
compute_bored_pile_wall is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Civilquants, apply this rule, and every compute_bored_pile_wall call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about compute_bored_pile_wall
Paid tier only. Calling this without an authenticated CivilQuants account returns TIER_INSUFFICIENT — sign up at https://civilquants.com/pricing or use the free-tier alternative compute_cantilever_wall. Cast-in-place bored concrete pile retaining wall, the SEVENTH member of the wall family and the FIFTH of the retaining_walls L1 leaf. The SIXTH structural system in the retaining / earth-structures domain (after mass concrete / RC / steel / mesh-and-stone / reinforced-soil-with-facing). Four structural forms via the bored_pile_form discriminator: CONTIGUOUS (clear-spaced piles, shotcrete face), SECANT_HARD_SOFT (alternating soft/hard overlapping piles, intermediate watertightness), SECANT_HARD_HARD (overlapping RC piles, maximum watertightness; deep basements), and KING_POST_AND_LAGGING_RC (widely-spaced RC king posts with lagging panels). 18th use of the classed-then-legacy attribute discrimination pattern, applied via the CONCRETE_REINFORCED handler's new wall_type='bored_pile' branch for the capping beam (when included). Routes via five new WorkCategory entries (BORED_PILE_CONCRETE, BORED_PILE_BORE, BORED_PILE_NR, BORED_PILE_HEAD_PREP, BORED_PILE_INTERLOCK) covering the CESMM4 Class P §P.8 three-line cast-in-place pile measurement convention plus the Class Q ancillaries head-prep line and the secant-specific interlock line. Codes: CESMM4 P.8.1-4 + Q.1.1, NRM2 7.6.1-4 + 7.5.1, MMHW 1600.5-6 (SHW Cl. 1602/1603), and SMM7 D30.1-5 — D30 (Cast in place piling) is OPENED at this session as the conventional UK QS named home. Capping beam routes via CONCRETE_REINFORCED with wall_type='bored_pile' to F.6.5 / 11.3.5 / 1700.4.4 / E10.3.4. Reinforcement billed itemised (separate audit line per BS 8666:2020 cage) on top of the pile rate by S31 decision. Eight variant presets exercise all four BoredPileForm values (2/2/2/2 split). Example params: wall_length_m=20 m (5–200), retained_height_m=6 m (2–20), embedment_below_formation_m=4 m (1–15). Example call: {"params": {"wall_length_m": 20, "retained_height_m": 6, "embedment_below_formation_m": 4}, "standard": "MMHW"}. Omitted parameters use sensible engineering defaults. Pass deliverables=["xlsx","dxf","pdf"] (any subset) to also receive one-shot download URLs in the same call: Excel BoQ (both tiers, watermarked free) plus the dimensioned DXF (CAD) and PDF drawing sheets (paid tier). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Civilquants MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
compute_bored_pile_wall accepts 4 parameters: params, standard, output_mode, deliverables. Required: params. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Civilquants MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for compute_bored_pile_wall: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Civilquants. Nothing to install.
compute_bored_pile_wall is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the compute_bored_pile_wall rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for compute_bored_pile_wall. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
compute_bored_pile_wall is provided by the Civilquants MCP server (https://api.civilquants.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
