Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ssh_connectA | Connect to a remote SSH server. Returns a session ID to be used for subsequent commands and files. If neither password nor privateKey are specified, this tool will attempt to use default keys in your ~/.ssh directory. If a file path is provided in privateKey, it will be loaded from disk. |
| ssh_execute_commandA | Execute a command on the remote host via SSH. Note: Shell environment state like current directory (cd) is NOT preserved between distinct tool calls. To run multiple commands in the same path, chain them (e.g. 'cd /var/www && ls -la'). |
| ssh_close_connectionB | Close an active SSH connection. |
| ssh_list_connectionsA | List all active SSH connection IDs and details. |
| ssh_sftp_list_dirB | List files and directories on the remote server using SFTP. |
| ssh_sftp_read_fileA | Read the contents of a file on the remote server using SFTP. |
| ssh_sftp_write_fileB | Write content to a file on the remote server using SFTP. Creates the file if it does not exist. |
| ssh_sftp_delete_fileA | Delete a file on the remote server using SFTP. |
| ssh_sftp_mkdirB | Create a directory on the remote server using SFTP. |
| ssh_sftp_rmdirB | Remove an empty directory on the remote server using SFTP. |
| ssh_sftp_renameA | Rename or move a file or directory on the remote server using SFTP. |

TDQS
Scored across 11 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: connection management, command execution, and SFTP operations are all separated. No two tools overlap in functionality, and descriptions clearly differentiate them.
All tools follow a consistent 'ssh_' prefix for SSH operations and 'ssh_sftp_' for SFTP operations. Verbs are uniform (e.g., connect, execute, list, read, write), making the naming pattern predictable and easy to parse.
With 11 tools, the set is well-scoped for an SSH client, covering connection lifecycles, command execution, and comprehensive SFTP file operations. Neither too few nor too many for the domain.
The tool set covers all essential SSH client operations: connect/disconnect, execute commands, and full SFTP CRUD (list, read, write, delete, rename, mkdir, rmdir). Minor gaps like directory uploads are compound operations, not necessary for basic coverage.
