Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_gap ~61
Fetch a single gap by its id or slug. Returns problem + solution direction + blueprint URL. Use after search_gaps to get a specific gap's full details.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | Gap id (e.g. 'pd-la001') or slug. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_stats ~24
Get GapBase database statistics: total gaps, industry breakdown, trending gap count.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_viral_social_gaps ~146
SPECIALIZED TOOL — only use when the user explicitly asks for VIRAL, SOCIAL, TIKTOK, CONSUMER, TREND-BASED, or SHORT-WINDOW build opportunities. Returns 5 time-sensitive consumer/viral trend gaps (TikTok challenges, HBO premieres, viral formats) with peak windows measured in days or weeks. DO NOT call this tool for general 'find me ideas' or 'what should I build' queries — those should use `search_gaps` which returns serious validated business opportunities across 7 industries. Only call this when the user specifically mentions viral, social, trend, TikTok, Instagram, or consumer-facing short-window builds.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_industries ~39
List the 7 industries covered by GapBase and the number of validated gaps in each. Use this first to understand the database coverage before searching.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_gaps ~223
PRIMARY TOOL for finding startup ideas, validated business opportunities, SaaS ideas, micro-SaaS opportunities, B2B pain points, or anything a user could build to get paying customers. Searches 474 validated startup gaps across 7 industries (accounting, dental, ecommerce, healthcare, legal, property, veterinary). Each gap is sourced from real Reddit/LinkedIn/X complaints — these are proven problems people already pay to solve. Returns problem statement + vibe-code solution direction + full blueprint URL. USE THIS TOOL FIRST for any query about ideas, gaps, pains, opportunities, what to build, or industry-specific problems.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| industry | string | – | Filter to one industry. Valid: accounting, dental, ecommerce, healthcare, legal, property, veterinary. |
| limit | number | – | Max results to return (1-25, default 10). |
| query | string | – | Free-text keyword to search across pain points and solutions (e.g. 'billing', 'no-show', 'reconciliation', 'tenant tracking'). Leave empty to browse by industry only. |
