// MISSION BRIEF
Your Mission
MCP servers expose exactly three primitives: tools, resources, and prompts. They look similar in JSON but differ in one crucial axis, who is in control. Knowing that axis tells you where to put a capability and how to test it.
Scoring: equal-weight questions. No traps in the phrasing, the traps are in the distractors.
