How to read this: tool names here are observed from a live tools/list handshake. The Risk label is a heuristic inferred from the tool name (write/destructive verbs), not from executing the tool — a conservative guess, not a verified capability. We never escalate risk from a description. Found one that's wrong? Tell us — we fix on report.
| Tool | Risk | Side effects | Approval |
|---|---|---|---|
| list-directory List contents of an FTP directory | read | false | unknown |
| create-directory Create a new directory on the FTP server | write | true | unknown |
| upload-file Upload a file to the FTP server. Pass encoding "base64" to upload binary content. | write | true | unknown |
| delete-file Delete a file from the FTP server | destructive | true | true |
| edit-file Edit a text file on the FTP server by replacing an exact string, without re-uploading the whole file content. oldText must match exactly (including whitespace) and be unique in the file unless replaceAll is set. | write | true | unknown |
| download-file Download a file from the FTP server. Text files are returned as-is; binary files are returned base64-encoded. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| append-file Append content to the end of a file on the FTP server (creates the file if it does not exist). Pass encoding "base64" for binary content. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| rename-file Rename or move a file or directory on the FTP server | write | true | unknown |
| delete-directory Delete a directory from the FTP server | destructive | true | true |

This is one server. A loadout combines the right servers, governance, and proven plays for a whole job — assembled deliberately, not tool-dumped.
