Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one lists available stack templates, the other provides personalized recommendations. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
Both tool names follow the same verb_noun pattern in snake_case (list_stacks, recommend_stack), maintaining perfect consistency.
With only 2 tools, the surface is too thin for a 'stack advisor' server. Users likely need additional functionality like searching, filtering, or viewing stack details.
Obvious gaps exist: no way to inspect individual stack templates, search by tags, compare stacks, or manage stacks. The surface is severely limited for the domain.
