The phrase "tolerably compliant" is correct and usable in written English
It means someone or something is somewhat or moderately obedient or following rules. Example: The children were tolerably compliant with their parents' rules, but they would occasionally sneak out to meet with their friends. In this example, "tolerably compliant" suggests that the children follow their parents' rules most of the time, but not always. It implies that they are not perfectly obedient, but also not completely disobedient.
