How to control get_stops_around_location ↓

AI agents call get_stops_around_location to retrieve information from Lad Lviv Ua without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
latitude number Decimal latitude of the search centre, WGS84 (e.g. 49.842 for central Lviv).
longitude number Decimal longitude of the search centre, WGS84 (e.g. 24.031 for central Lviv).
radius_meters integer Search radius in metres (50–3000, default 1000). Use ~300 for dense urban intersections, up to 3000 for suburban or rural areas.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Low Risk

Even though get_stops_around_location only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_stops_around_location gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Lad Lviv Ua, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_stops_around_location:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_stops_around_location": {}
  }
}

get_stops_around_location is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Lad Lviv Ua — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the get_stops_around_location tool do? +

Discovers transit stops near a geographic point, returning each stop's numeric code, name, coordinates, and walking distance. Also emits a map UI block with multiple markers for map-capable clients (e.g. ChatGPT). Use this as the first step whenever the user provides an address, place name, or coordinates and you need stop IDs before calling get_stop_realtime or get_stop_geometry. Do NOT use this to fetch arrivals or live vehicle data — it returns stop metadata only. Default radius is 1 000 m; narrow it (e.g. 300 m) for dense urban areas or widen it (up to 3 000 m) for rural locations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Lad Lviv Ua MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does get_stops_around_location accept? +
