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.

Tools each declares
The marketplaces of io.github.VamsiSudhakaran1/release-gate publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only com.stackhawk/stackhawk asks for
STACKHAWK_API_KEY (secret)
Only io.github.VamsiSudhakaran1/release-gate asks for
RG_MCP_ALLOWED_ROOTS
