What traffic_incidents does on Singapore LTA MCP Server

Why traffic_incidents needs a policy

This tool queries and returns real-time traffic incident data from Singapore's LTA system. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The read-only nature is evident from 'Get current road incidents' and the 2-minute update frequency indicating passive data retrieval. Even if an AI agent calls this repeatedly, the worst case is redundant API calls, not data damage or system harm.
