pentagonal_compile

Compile Solidity source code and return the ABI, bytecode, constructor arguments, and gas estimates. Use this after generating and auditing a contract to prepare it for deployment.

Accepts freeform code/query input (code)

Part of the Pentagonal MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

pentagonal-mcp Execute Risk 4/5

AI agents invoke pentagonal_compile to trigger processes or run actions in Pentagonal. 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.

pentagonal_compile can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept 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.

What does the pentagonal_compile tool do? +

Compile Solidity source code and return the ABI, bytecode, constructor arguments, and gas estimates. Use this after generating and auditing a contract to prepare it for deployment.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Pentagonal MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on pentagonal_compile? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for pentagonal_compile. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Pentagonal MCP server.

What risk level is pentagonal_compile? +

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

Can I rate-limit pentagonal_compile? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pentagonal_compile rule in your Intercept 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 pentagonal_compile completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for pentagonal_compile. 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 pentagonal_compile? +

pentagonal_compile is provided by the Pentagonal MCP server (pentagonal-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
