Scored across 10 tools
Each tool addresses a distinct apt operation—install, remove, update, upgrade, hold, unhold, autoremove, list upgradable, query status, and server ping—with no functional overlap.
Most tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern (e.g., installAptPackage, removeAptPackage), but 'ping' breaks the convention by lacking a noun component.
10 tools cover the essential apt lifecycle operations without superfluous extras, fitting the scope of an apt package management server perfectly.
Core operations like install, remove, upgrade, update, hold/unhold, autoremove, and status query are present; only minor gaps like 'purge' or 'search' are missing, which are not critical for typical workflows.
