What StackResolve does that Smithery does not

StackResolve passes clear canonical domain, llms-full.txt / full agent docs, structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, pricing understandable, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, self-service signup, no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation, free trial or free allowance, fast time to first request, cli available, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, and Smithery fails them. That is the whole of the gap between the two scores, so if none of those matter to your agent the ranking above overstates the difference.
