find_buses_to_destination

Find bus routes that go to a specified destination. Args: destination: The destination to search for (e.g., "Central", "Mong Kok", "Airport")

Accepts file system path (destination)

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

AI agents call find_buses_to_destination to retrieve information from KMB Bus without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though find_buses_to_destination only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the find_buses_to_destination tool do? +

Find bus routes that go to a specified destination. Args: destination: The destination to search for (e.g., "Central", "Mong Kok", "Airport") . It is categorised as a Read tool in the KMB Bus MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on find_buses_to_destination? +

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

What risk level is find_buses_to_destination? +

find_buses_to_destination is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit find_buses_to_destination? +

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

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

find_buses_to_destination is provided by the KMB Bus MCP server (kennyckk/mcp_hkbus). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
