Set up a new terminal connection to "{{host}}" and verify it works:

  1. Create Credentials First

    • Ask the user for their preferred auth method (password, SSH key, or key file)
    • Use terminal_credential_create to store the credential securely
    • Note the returned credential ID for the next step
  2. Create the Connection

    • Use terminal_connection_create with the host "{{host}}" and the credential_id from step 1
    • Set the name to "{{label}}" if provided, otherwise use the hostname
    • Configure the connection type (SSH is the default)
  3. Test the Connection

    • Use terminal_connection_test with the connection ID to verify it works
    • If the test fails, report the error details clearly
    • Suggest common fixes (wrong port, firewall, credential issues)
  4. Confirm Setup

    • Use terminal_connection_list to show the new connection in the list
    • Report the connection ID for future reference
    • Suggest next steps (starting a session, creating a tunnel)

Important Notes:

  • Never store or log raw passwords or private keys
  • If SSH key auth is chosen, the key content should be provided securely
  • Default SSH port is 22; ask if a non-standard port is needed
