async checkConnectivity(hostAlias: string): Promise<ConnectionStatus> { try { // Establish connection await this.connectToHost(hostAlias); // Execute ping command const result = await this.ssh.execCommand('echo connected'); const connected = result.stdout.trim() === 'connected'; this.ssh.dispose(); return { connected, message: connected ? 'Connection successful' : 'Echo test failed' }; } catch (error) { console.error(`Connectivity error with ${hostAlias}:`, error); return { connected: false, message: error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }; } - src/types.ts:19-22 (schema)Type definition for the return type of checkConnectivity tool.
