AI agents invoke compute_flexible_pavement to trigger processes or run actions in Civilquants. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
compute_flexible_pavement can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

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_end_area_earthworks. Flexible pavement build-up: optional capping (Class 6F) + Type 1 (Class 1A) granular sub-base + asphalt concrete base (AC) + binder course (AC/HRA) + optional tack coat + surface course (AC/HRA/SMA/TSCS). Routes the bound layers through PAVEMENT_BASE/BINDER/SURFACE handlers with pavement_family discrimination across all four standards. Sub-base and capping route through the v8 FILL_SUB_BASE/FILL_CAPPING SHW-class-aware handlers. Four traffic-category defaults (domestic/light/medium/heavy) per DMRB CD 226. All four standards render (CESMM4 R.1-R.4, NRM2 34.4-34.6, MMHW 700, SMM7 Q20+Q22). Example params: length=100 m (0.5–2000), width=6 m (0.5–30), sub_base_thickness_mm=150 mm (100–500). Example call: {"params": {"length": 100, "width": 6, "sub_base_thickness_mm": 150}, "standard": "MMHW"}. Omitted parameters use sensible engineering defaults. Pass deliverables=["xlsx"] to also receive a one-shot Excel BoQ download URL in the same call.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Civilquants MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Civilquants MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for compute_flexible_pavement: 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_flexible_pavement is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the compute_flexible_pavement 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_flexible_pavement. 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_flexible_pavement 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.
