Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.

Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.

Tools each declares

The marketplaces of Agent Mesh publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.

Settings each asks for

Only Firewalla asks for

FIREWALLA_BOX_ID
FIREWALLA_MSP_ID
FIREWALLA_MSP_TOKEN (secret)
LOG_LEVEL
MCP_CACHE_ENABLED
MCP_CACHE_TTL
MCP_DEBUG_MODE
MCP_RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS
MCP_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW
MCP_READ_ONLY_MODE
MCP_WAVE0_ENABLED

Only Agent Mesh asks for

AGENTMESH_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN_PATH (secret)
AGENTMESH_CONTROL_PLANE_URL

Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
