reddit_post

Fetch a Reddit post and its nested comment tree.

Comments come back nested (each with its replies), with score and author.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
_orgNoOrg (id) de CET APPEL. `oto_list_orgs()`.
depthNoMax depth of the reply tree walked (0 = top-level comments only).
_groupNoÉquipe (id) de CET APPEL, sous son org parente.
_run_idNoOBLIGATOIRE à chaque appel dès `run_start` ou `data_claim_next` : sans lui, l'écriture sur une ligne réservée est refusée. Hérité seulement si le serveur tient un run actif — n'y compte pas.
_projectNoProjet (id) de CET APPEL — jeton PRIMAIRE. `oto_project(op='list')`.
_instanceNoInstance de connecteur PRÉCISE (un credential exact). `oto_instance(op='list')`.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are supplied, so the description carries the full burden. It does usefully disclose the return shape — comments are nested with per-comment `replies`, plus score and author — but says nothing about authentication, rate limits, error behavior for deleted/private posts, or how truncation by depth/comment_limit manifests.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences, zero filler, with the core action front-loaded and the return-shape note immediately after. Every sentence carries information an agent would otherwise have to infer.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a read-only fetch whose input parameters are fully described in schema and whose output is summarized in the description, this is close to sufficient. The gap is behavioral rather than structural: no output schema exists, and the description only partially compensates by describing nesting and per-comment fields.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so every parameter is already documented, including depth's "0 = top-level comments only" and comment_limit. The description mentions nesting, which loosely motivates `depth`, but adds no new meaning beyond the schema and is silent on comment_limit's truncation semantics.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: "Fetch a Reddit post and its nested comment tree." That is clearly distinguishable from reddit_search (find posts) and reddit_subreddit (list a subreddit's posts) by implication, but it never names those siblings or states the boundary explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The only usage signal is implicit: you need a post URL or id, which the schema already tells you. There is no statement of when to prefer this over reddit_search (to locate a post) or reddit_subreddit (to browse a subreddit), and no prerequisites or exclusions are given.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
