Search Reddit

search_reddit

Search Reddit by keyword to uncover real customer pain points, objections, and language for ad hooks and copy; returns compact post JSON with subreddit, upvotes, comments, and link.

Instructions

Reddit keyword search (/v1/reddit/search, top-ranked) — a goldmine for the customer's OWN words (pain points, objections, language) to mine into ad hooks and copy. Returns compact JSON {desc (title+selftext), subreddit, upvotes, comments, link} per post. Spends about a credit.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare openWorldHint=true and non-destructive behavior. The description adds important context beyond annotations by stating the credit cost and the exact return shape, though it does not mention auth requirements, rate limits, or pagination.

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?

The description is compact and front-loaded: it names the endpoint, purpose, return shape, and cost in a few dense sentences. Every sentence adds useful information with no repetition or filler.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple two-parameter search tool with no output schema, the description supplies the missing return structure and credit cost. Together with the complete input schema and annotations, an agent has enough information to invoke it correctly.

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 both the required query and optional limit parameters. The description adds no parameter-level semantics beyond what the schema provides, making the baseline score of 3 appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description states a specific verb and resource ('Reddit keyword search'), gives the endpoint, and scopes it as top-ranked. It also distinguishes the tool from generic social searches by tying it to Reddit and to mining the customer's own words for ad copy.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It clearly describes the intended use case: mining customer pain points, objections, and language into ad hooks and copy. However, it does not name alternatives such as search_posts, search_threads, or other platform-specific searches, so the agent must infer when Reddit is preferable.

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