recompute_project can trigger actions in Civilquants, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke recompute_project 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.

recompute_project 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.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so recompute_project only ever does what you allow.

What does the recompute_project tool do? +

Re-run every enabled assembly in a saved project and render aggregated BoQs across the requested measurement standards. Paid tier only — anonymous callers receive a TIER_INSUFFICIENT envelope.. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on recompute_project? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit recompute_project? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the recompute_project 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 recompute_project completely? +

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

recompute_project 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.

Enforce policy on every Civilquants tool call.
