   A team has two MCP servers: one for a ticketing system and one for a code-hosting platform. Both servers expose a tool named 'search'. When a user asks GitLab Duo to 'search for the bug report', the model is uncertain which tool to use. What is the most effective way to resolve this ambiguity?

   • AAsk the user to specify the tool name in every prompt, such as 'use search_tickets to find the bug report'.
   • BDisable one of the MCP servers so only one 'search' tool is available.
   • CConfigure GitLab Duo to always prefer the ticketing system's 'search' tool.
   • DRename the tools to be more specific, such as 'search_tickets' and 'search_repos', in the respective MCP servers.

   • BDisable mutual TLS on the wiki because MCP does not support it.
   • CBuild an MCP server that handles the mutual TLS handshake with the wiki and register it with GitLab Duo.
   • DConfigure GitLab Duo's native HTTP client to use mutual TLS and connect directly to the wiki.
