Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action: connect/disconnect manage sessions, list_sessions enumerates them, execute runs commands, and upload/download transfer files. There is no overlap or ambiguity between tool purposes.
All tool names follow a clear imperative verb style, using lowercase with underscores. The names are concise and predictable, with list_sessions being the only verb_noun form, which is appropriate for a listing operation.
The server provides 6 tools, which is well-scoped for an SSH MCP server. Each tool serves a core function (session management, command execution, file transfer) without unnecessary bloat, fitting the typical 3-15 tool range.
The tool surface covers the full lifecycle of SSH interactions: connect, disconnect, session listing, command execution, and file upload/download. No obvious gaps exist for standard SSH usage, making the set complete for its stated purpose.
