WHAT IT DOES

What compute_flexible_pavement does on Civilquants

AI agents call compute_flexible_pavement 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`params`	object	Yes	Input parameters for a flexible pavement assembly. Geometric defaults match a 100m × 6m urban access road (medium traffic) per DMRB CD 226 starting build-up: 1
`standard`	string	—
`output_mode`	string	—
`deliverables`	object	—

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why compute_flexible_pavement is rated Low

This tool computes/calculates Bills of Quantities estimates for a flexible pavement assembly. It performs parametric computation and returns structured cost/quantity data — a read/query operation with no side effects on external systems. The 'Paid tier only' note and authentication requirement do not change the functional category.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs compute_flexible_pavement 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_flexible_pavement, this is the rule to start with:

compute_flexible_pavement Allowed

compute_flexible_pavement is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Civilquants, apply this rule, and every compute_flexible_pavement call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about compute_flexible_pavement

What does the compute_flexible_pavement tool do? +

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","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.

What parameters does compute_flexible_pavement accept? +

compute_flexible_pavement 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.

How do I enforce a policy on compute_flexible_pavement? +

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.

What risk level is compute_flexible_pavement? +

compute_flexible_pavement is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit compute_flexible_pavement? +

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.

How do I block compute_flexible_pavement completely? +

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.

What MCP server provides compute_flexible_pavement? +

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.
