Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

CrawlGraph is a quarterly Common Crawl snapshot, not a live crawler. It's built for one-off competitor prospecting, not live backlink monitoring - for change-tracking within days, a continuous-crawl tool like Ahrefs is the right choice. The gap result carries which competitors each domain links to (found_on) but not per-domain authority; use the backlinks tool if you need to score an individual target.
