## 🛡️ Security Considerations
- **Principle of Least Privilege**: Run with minimal required permissions
- **Input Validation**: All inputs are validated and sanitized
- **Safe Operations**: Read-only operations are prioritized
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling prevents system exposure
- **Audit Trail**: All operations can be logged for security auditing

Scored across 7 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct domain and purpose: filesystem handles files, network manages network operations, performance monitors system metrics, process_manager controls processes, registry accesses the Windows Registry, service_manager manages services, and system_info provides system details. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these tools.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with clear, descriptive nouns (e.g., filesystem, network, performance). There are no deviations in naming style, making the set predictable and easy to understand.
With 7 tools, this server is well-scoped for Windows system management. Each tool covers a distinct aspect of the system (e.g., files, network, processes), and the count is neither too thin nor too heavy, fitting the domain appropriately.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for Windows system management, including file operations, network diagnostics, performance monitoring, process control, registry access, service management, and system information. There are no obvious gaps, and it supports full lifecycle operations for each domain.
