Scored across 18 tools
Tools are cleanly separated by prefix (sftp_ vs ssh_) and each has a distinct action. No overlapping functionality; each tool targets a specific operation.
All tool names follow a consistent pattern of prefix_verb (or verb_noun) in snake_case. The naming is uniform and predictable across both subdomains.
18 tools cover two distinct domains (SFTP and SSH) thoroughly. While slightly above the typical 3-15 range, each tool serves a clear purpose and the count is justified by the dual scope.
The tool set covers essential operations for remote file transfer (SFTP) and command execution (SSH), including connection management and testing. Minor omissions like file renaming or interactive shell exist, but core workflows are well-supported.
