## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `list\_categories`: List the private-label product categories Patent-Gap tracks for expiring design patents.
- `newly\_expirable`: Cross-category feed of design patents that just became \(or are about to become\) free to make — i.e. fresh off-patent private-label opportunities, soonest-expiry first, already recall- and supplier-screened.
- `screen\_patent`: Screen ONE US patent by publication number \(e.g. USD689332S1\): compute its statutory expiry/status, join CPSC recall-safety for its category, and run an OFAC/OIG screen on the assignee. Returns the freedom-to-operate read \(design-patent scope; not legal advice\).
- `category\_opportunity\_report`: PAID \(x402, $0.03 USDC on Base\). Full off-patent opportunity report for a category slug \(see list\_categories\): every newly-expirable design patent with computed expiry, CPSC recall-safety band, and OFAC/OIG supplier screen, ranked by actionability. Free callers get a preview + x402 challenge.
