A4.3/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: listing hosts, fetching host details, testing connectivity, and executing commands. There is no overlap between them.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow the consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores: execute_ssh_command, list_ssh_hosts, get_host_info, test_ssh_connection. The naming is uniform and predictable.

Tool Count5/5

Four tools is a well-scoped set for an SSH server, covering the essential operations without unnecessary bloat. Each tool earns its place.

Completeness4/5

Core SSH workflows are covered: discover hosts, inspect config, test connectivity, and run commands. Minor gaps exist such as file transfer or session management, but the set is functional for its stated purpose.
