WHAT IT DOES

What competitor_profiles does on Gapup Mcp

AI agents call competitor_profiles to retrieve information from Gapup Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`async`	boolean	—	If true, returns a job_id immediately (<200ms) instead of waiting for the result. Poll the result with job_result(job_id). Use for slow tools to avoid client ti
`focus`	string	—
`competitors`	array	Yes
`selfCompany`	object	Yes

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why competitor_profiles is rated Low

This tool retrieves and returns structured competitive intelligence data (SWOT profiles, strengths/weaknesses/positioning) about competitors. It is purely a read/query operation with no side effects. The financial note ('agent-payable') refers to the billing model of the server platform, not a financial transaction performed by the tool itself.

From the tool's definition 'Profils concurrents' (competitor profiles), 'Returns a structured, audited deliverable', 'What are the strengths, weaknesses and positioning of each of my competitors?', 'Give me a SWOT-style profile'

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs competitor_profiles safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Gapup Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For competitor_profiles, this is the rule to start with:

competitor_profiles Allowed

competitor_profiles is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "competitor_profiles": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Gapup Mcp, apply this rule, and every competitor_profiles call is checked against it from then on.
