WHAT IT DOES

What compute_pad_foundation does on Civilquants

AI agents invoke compute_pad_foundation to trigger actions in Civilquants. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required
`params`	object	Yes
`standard`	string	—
`output_mode`	string	—
`deliverables`	object	—

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why compute_pad_foundation is rated High

The tool calls an external paid API to run a parametric estimating computation (Bills of Quantities generation with BS 8666:2020 reinforcement scheduling). This is an Execute category action as it triggers an external operation whose effects depend on the arguments passed. It does not read static data, write/modify persistent records, perform destructive operations, or move money directly.

From the tool's definition 'Paid tier only. Calling this without an authenticated CivilQuants account returns TIER_INSUFFICIENT' and 'compute_pad_foundation' with params triggering a parametric estimating engine computation — the tool executes a calculation/rendering operation against…

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs compute_pad_foundation 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_pad_foundation, this is the rule to start with:

compute_pad_foundation Rate-limited

compute_pad_foundation stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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_pad_foundation call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about compute_pad_foundation

What does the compute_pad_foundation 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_cantilever_wall. Single isolated reinforced concrete pad foundation with optional pedestal. Demonstrates BS 8666:2020 reinforcement scheduling integrated with the four-standard rendering invariant. Example params: length=2 m (0.5–10), width=2 m (0.5–10), thickness=0.45 m (0.15–2). Example call: {"params": {"length": 2, "width": 2, "thickness": 0.45}, "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 Execute tool in the Civilquants MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

What parameters does compute_pad_foundation accept? +

compute_pad_foundation 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_pad_foundation? +

Register the Civilquants MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for compute_pad_foundation: 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_pad_foundation? +

compute_pad_foundation is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit compute_pad_foundation? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the compute_pad_foundation 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_pad_foundation completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for compute_pad_foundation. 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_pad_foundation? +

compute_pad_foundation 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.
