Scored across 9 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource or action: file operations, directory listing, command execution, service management, system stats, Docker, and firewall. The run_command tool is a catch-all but has a clearly separate purpose as an arbitrary command executor.
Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., read_file, manage_service), but 'docker' and 'firewall' are bare nouns, and 'system_stats' is noun_noun. These are minor deviations that don't impede comprehension.
With 9 tools, the set is well-scoped for VPS management. Each tool covers a distinct area without redundancy or bloat, fitting comfortable within the ideal range.
The set covers core operations: file read/write/list, command execution, service management, system stats, Docker, and firewall. Missing file deletion/renaming and some advanced administrative tasks, but the surface is sufficient for common VPS workflows.
