Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ssh_list_serversA | List all configured SSH servers with connection status. Returns server names, hosts, usernames, descriptions, and whether each server currently has an active connection. EXAMPLES:
|
| ssh_disconnectA | Disconnect from a specific SSH server. Closes the active SSH connection to the named server. The connection will be re-established automatically on next command. EXAMPLES:
