AI agents invoke compute_parapet 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_parapet 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access compute_parapet gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other execute tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.

Bridge / structural-deck parapet installation per BS 6779-1 + BS EN 1317-2 + SHW Cl. 408. Discriminates between four UK parapet system classifications via the parapet_type enum (pedestrian_only per BS 7818; vehicle_p1_p2 — low-containment BS EN 1317-2; vehicle_h1_h2_h3 — higher-containment; combined_pedestrian_vehicle — composite design). Plus parallel discriminators on two further WorkCategory entries: same parapet_type on PARAPET_POST, transition_type on PARAPET_TRANSITION (to_vrs / to_abutment / expansion_joint). The MMHW Series 400 _parapet handler is the platform's SEVENTH 1D-banded handler — code 400.4.1.{c} bands by containment_level (4 bands per BS EN 1317-2). 1D choice is disciplined — second principled rejection of forced 2D banding (after S38 road_marking). LAUNCH-COMPLETING 45TH ASSEMBLY — opens highway_bridge_edge L2 leaf, closing the highway suite at 5/5 populated leaves and the platform at 45/45 launch target. SMM7 routes BACK to Q40 (sibling slot to VRS at Q40.5) — preserves UK trade reality. Example params: parapet_height_mm=1100 mm (900–1800), parapet_length_m=25 m (1–2000), post_count=0 Nr (0–200). Example call: {"params": {"parapet_height_mm": 1100, "parapet_length_m": 25, "post_count": 0}, "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_parapet: 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_parapet 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_parapet 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_parapet. 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_parapet 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.
