I'll start this by saying I haven't seen Tony a huge amount as a character, but my support comes from the way Rats plays security / detective and even command in general. I always feel more at ease both as crew AND as an antag when Rats is playing in a round, especially on security or in a role where their opinion may matter more than the rest.
Rats is fair and justified any time I see him make gameplay / RP decisions within rounds. I can't speak as a member of security myself but I can speak as the crew he interacts with or helps protect. I've seen him crack down when things go too far, which is a skill some folks aren't always as good at in hectic rounds. (Not to go after the 'other folks', this is just to say; security isn't always easy and I think Rats handles many things with a lot of tact). It's refreshing to see threats being taken seriously in a manner that also tries to ensure the antags AND crew are enjoying the round.
Speaking from a crew perspective, I remember one round in particular where he was playing captain on Sergeio. I was playing staffie, and he was trying to help the security team run around to handle some non-human antag. At some point, he stopped in the downtime security had, chatted with me for a bit while I built something random in the hall, and we had a really nice IC interaction that had me coming out of the round feeling like I mattered (playing staffie of all things lmao). It was really nice to be able to chat with someone who was seemingly so busy and acquainted with the more important departments, just because he wanted to say hi and tell me a little IC story in his downtime. I think this is super important for someone playing HoS to be able to do when they can. It's not always about getting the bad guy. It's about being able to ensure everyone's having fun, even if it means they aren't even remotely related to the 'big bad' happening in a round.
In short; I have no personal experience with Tony as a character, but I have nothing but good things to say about Rats as a player in the security, detective, and command rolls. I have no doubt that regardless of who he plays in the HoS role, Rats would be an excellent fit. +1 from me!
