Clamp when using MovePosition

[SpectralEdge]

I am moving a block back and forth along a single axis, it follows its target only while it is between two points.

 public GameObject Target;
    public float speed = 30f;

    public bool lockX = false;
    public bool lockY = false;
    public bool lockZ = false;

    public float bounds = 20f;

	void FixedUpdate () {
        Vector3 direction = (Target.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;
        direction.x = Mathf.Clamp(direction.x, -bounds, bounds);
        direction.y = Mathf.Clamp(direction.y, -bounds, bounds);
        direction.z = Mathf.Clamp(direction.z, -bounds, bounds);


        if (lockX)
        {
            direction.x = 0;
        }
        if (lockY)
        {
            direction.y = 0;
        }
        if (lockZ)
        {
            direction.z = 0;
        }

        rigidbody.MovePosition(transform.position + direction * speed * Time.deltaTime);
    }

What I want it to do is if it gets to the bounds, stop following in that direction. I have tried clamping to the bounds in each direction but the blocks keep following. I am pretty sure I need to clamp it some other way but not sure what the best way would be.

You are clamping the direction. From your description, you want to clamp the position. Something like:

public GameObject Target;
public float speed = 30f;

public bool lockX = false;
public bool lockY = false;
public bool lockZ = false;

public float bounds = 20f;

void FixedUpdate () {
	Vector3 direction = (Target.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;

	if (lockX)
	{
		direction.x = 0;
	}
	if (lockY)
	{
		direction.y = 0;
	}
	if (lockZ)
	{
		direction.z = 0;
	}

	var pos = transform.position + direction * speed * Time.deltaTime;

	pos.x = Mathf.Clamp(pos.x, -bounds, bounds);
	pos.y = Mathf.Clamp(pos.y, -bounds, bounds);
	pos.z = Mathf.Clamp(pos.z, -bounds, bounds);
	
	rigidbody.MovePosition(pos);
}
