Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesReddit post URL. The URL platform must match this endpoint's platform. Do not pass cross-platform URLs, e.g. YouTube to TikTok, Instagram to Facebook, LinkedIn to X/Twitter, or Pinterest to Rumble.
cacheNoSet true to serve from the 24h response cache (0 credits on hit). Default false — always fetch fresh.
limitNoMax items to return (default 50, max 500). Flat 2 credits per call.
cursorNoPagination cursor. Leave empty for the first page; then pass the nextCursor value returned in the previous response.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations present, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does so thoroughly: it discloses flat vs. threaded structure, parent linkage via depth/parentId, pagination, inclusion of the parent post, credit cost, free empty/failed calls, and cache behavior. This exceeds typical tool descriptions.

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?

Three tight sentences, each earning its place: the first defines output shape, the second states cost/failure policy, and the third explains cache behavior. There is no filler or duplication of schema details.

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 listing endpoint with a fully documented input schema, the description covers the important non-obvious aspects: cost, caching, flat shape, and pagination. It stops slightly short of describing the full response envelope beyond depth/parentId and the parent post, though the schema already hints at cursor mechanics.

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 the schema already documents all four parameters: url, cache, limit, and cursor. The description reinforces cache and cursor behavior but does not add meaning substantially beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description clearly identifies the resource — Reddit comment threads — and the key shape of what is returned: flat structure, depth/parentId, cursor pagination, and the parent post. It is unambiguous and easily distinguishable from siblings like reddit_post_details or reddit_post_transcript, though it uses a noun phrase rather than an explicit imperative verb like 'fetch'.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It is implied that this tool is for retrieving comments for a Reddit post, but the description never states when to prefer it over related tools or what the alternatives are. There are no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative-tool conditions.

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