Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.

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.
Capabilities
Server capabilities have not been inspected yet.

| ssh_runB | Runs a non-interactive command remotely over SSH and returns stdout, stderr, and exit code |
Prompts

| Name | Description |
|---|---|
No prompts | |

Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have completely distinct purposes: ssh_run executes commands and returns results, while ssh_test_connection only tests connectivity and returns hostname. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
Both tools follow a consistent 'ssh_' prefix pattern with clear verb_noun naming (ssh_run and ssh_test_connection). The naming is predictable and follows the same convention throughout.
With only 2 tools, this server feels severely under-scoped for SSH operations. While the tools cover basic connectivity and command execution, there are many obvious missing SSH functionalities like file transfer, session management, or interactive operations.
For an SSH server, the surface is significantly incomplete. There's no file transfer (scp/sftp), no interactive shell capability, no key management, no port forwarding, and no session persistence. Agents will hit dead ends trying to perform common SSH tasks beyond basic command execution.
