# detect-gaps

`station__ats__detect-gaps` · external (needs EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL configured) · domain `ats` · pv-relevance `non-pv`

Detect critical gaps between resume and job requirements — missing skills, experience shortfalls, credential gaps. Returns severity (CRITICAL/HIGH/MODERATE/LOW/NONE) and whether gaps are fixable via resume optimization.

> **Note:** This tool routes through an external execution backend. If `EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL` is unset on the server, calls return JSON-RPC error `-32603 "Tool execution backend not configured"`. Tools with `backend: native` execute in-process and are always callable.
