Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: listing subreddit posts, searching posts, fetching a single post, and fetching comments. No two tools overlap in function, and the descriptions make the boundaries unambiguous.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: list_subreddit, search_posts, get_post, get_comments. While nouns are singular or plural, the pattern is uniform across the set.
4 tools is well-scoped for a read-only Reddit interface, covering the essential browsing actions without unnecessary bloat. The count fits perfectly within the typical range for a focused server.
The core read-only workflows are covered: list, search, get post, and get comments. Minor gaps exist, such as no subreddit metadata or user post retrieval, but these are not critical for the stated purpose of browsing public posts and comments.
