The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
list_industriesList the 7 industries covered by GapBase and the number of validated gaps in each. Use this first to understand the database coverage before searching.

get_gapFetch 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.

Tool annotations
No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
5/5 tools missing one or more hints — list_industries (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_gaps (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_gap (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +2 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.0.4 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
