 ## Features
 
-- **55+ tools** covering system status, interfaces, firewall rules, aliases, NAT, DHCP, diagnostics, routing, VPN (OpenVPN/IPsec/WireGuard), and DNS resolver
+- **77+ tools** covering system status, interfaces, firewall rules, aliases, NAT, DHCP, diagnostics, routing, VPN (OpenVPN/IPsec/WireGuard), and DNS resolver
+- **Multi-firewall**: connect to many pfSense boxes dynamically via `pfsense_connect(url, api_key)` — no static firewall in config required
 - **Safety guardrails**: writes disabled by default, dry-run mode, WAN any/any rule blocking, required description prefix
 - **Audit logging**: all mutations logged to JSONL
 - **`apply` control**: write tools accept `apply=true` to apply immediately, or batch changes and call the apply tool
