Scored across 9 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: connect, disconnect, execute commands, file transfers, listing, and server management. No two tools have overlapping purposes.
All tools follow the consistent pattern 'ssh_verb' or 'ssh_verb_noun' (e.g., ssh_connect, ssh_list_files, ssh_remove_server). No mixing of conventions.
With 9 tools, the set covers essential SSH operations without being bloated. Each tool serves a clear need for remote server management.
The surface provides full lifecycle management: connect/disconnect, command execution, file upload/download/transfer, listing, and session tracking. No obvious gaps for the domain.
