Competitors mentioned: Static analysis tools for MCP security, MCP registry namespace verification
Concerns raised: Only captures startup behavior, not tool-call runtime, Missing cross-version behavior changes (rug-pull detection), Uncertainty whether runtime tracing is better than static scanning
Feature requests: Tool-call tracing and analysis, Cross-version diffing to catch rug pulls, Integration as pre-install feed for MCP clients

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
