That's pretty good. I'd _consider_ flipping it around so the familiar part comes first?

Perhaps, something like:

«Toybox provides a set of utilities like cp, mv, cat, ..., which are each just links to a single binary (a "multicall binary").

In this way `toybox` is like a Swiss Army knife -- several tools combined into one.

Installing toybox adds a symlink for each [of the x] command name[s] to the $PATH.»

The last sentence might be better if it said how many symlinks are added?

Aside, Busybox uses the term "Swiss Army Knife" in their description. Using the same term like that, which isn't an inherent term, might open you up to a 'passing off' claim. Multi-tool, or EDC, may work?
