# compose-build Builds Docker Compose service images and returns structured per-service build status. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `compose-build`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-pare-search/compose-build ## Facts - Tool: `compose-build` - Server: Search (`Dave-London/Pare`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-pare-search.md - Homepage: https://github.com/Dave-London/Pare - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "compose-build", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why compose-build is rated High This tool triggers external operations (Docker image builds) whose effects depend on the Dockerfile contents and build arguments. While the output is structured status information, the action itself executes code in the build context. This falls under Execute rather than Write because it runs commands/triggers operations whose side effects are determined by external artifacts (Dockerfiles), not just data creation. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Builds Docker Compose service images', which involves executing the docker-compose build command. Building container images executes code from Dockerfiles and can run arbitrary build steps." ## Use case AI agents invoke compose-build to trigger actions in Search. 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
