## Gaps and Future Enhancements

### Known Gaps

1. **Integration Tests** (Low Priority)
   - Testing via actual MCP protocol handler responses
   - Verification of makeToolsN8nFriendly() interaction
   - **Reason for deferring:** Test infrastructure doesn't easily support this
   - **Mitigation:** Comprehensive unit tests provide high confidence

2. **Logging Verification** (Low Priority)
   - Verification that logger.info/warn are called appropriately
   - **Reason for deferring:** Complex to mock logger properly
   - **Mitigation:** Manual testing confirms logging works correctly

### Future Enhancements (Optional)

1. **E2E Tests**
   - Test with real MCP client connection
   - Verify in actual deployment scenarios

2. **Performance Benchmarks**
   - Formal benchmarks for large disabled tool lists
   - Current tests show <100ms for 1000 tools, which is excellent

3. **Deployment Smoke Tests**
   - Verify feature works in Docker container
   - Test with various environment configurations
