Scored across 9 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: starting, destroying, snapshotting, restoring, file operations, command execution, and state updates. No two tools overlap in functionality.
Most tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., destroy_vm, download_file, restore_snapshot). The tool 'snapshot' is a slight outlier as it uses a noun as a verb, but it is still clear.
With 9 tools covering creation, destruction, state management, snapshots, file transfer, and command execution, the count is well-scoped for a VM management server.
There are significant gaps: no tool to list VMs or snapshots, and no way to get VM status. These missing query operations will cause agent failures when trying to discover existing resources.
