Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: list-terminals enumerates terminals, open-terminal creates new ones, close-terminal removes them, execute-command runs commands, and read-output retrieves output. An agent can easily differentiate these functions without confusion.
All tools follow a consistent verb-noun pattern with hyphen separation (e.g., list-terminals, open-terminal, execute-command). The naming is uniform, predictable, and readable throughout the set.
With 5 tools, this server is well-scoped for terminal management. Each tool earns its place by covering essential operations: listing, opening, closing, executing commands, and reading output, which is appropriate for the domain.
The tool set provides complete lifecycle coverage for terminal management: create (open-terminal), read (list-terminals, read-output), update (execute-command), and delete (close-terminal). There are no obvious gaps, and agents can perform all core workflows without dead ends.
