How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →

Supply Chain Security86
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass

Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 493 tokens (~98/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management0
  • Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 5 exposed · ~493 tokens

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.

Tool Tokens
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.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesGap 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.

NameTypeReqDescription
industrystringFilter to one industry. Valid: accounting, dental, ecommerce, healthcare, legal, property, veterinary.
limitnumberMax results to return (1-25, default 10).
querystringFree-text keyword to search across pain points and solutions (e.g. 'billing', 'no-show', 'reconciliation', 'tenant tracking'). Leave empty to browse by industry only.
