Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| browse_subredditA | Fetch posts from a subreddit sorted by your choice (hot/new/top/rising/controversial). Returns a post list with content, metadata, and a data_source field. With Reddit credentials (data_source "api") posts include score, num_comments, and upvote_ratio; without credentials, results come from Reddit's public RSS feed (data_source "rss") and those fields plus nsfw are null — see the response note and do not infer popularity from them. |
| search_redditA | Search for posts across Reddit or specific subreddits. Returns matching posts with content and metadata. |
| get_post_detailsA | Fetch a Reddit post with its comments. Requires EITHER url OR post_id. IMPORTANT: When using post_id alone, an extra API call is made to fetch the subreddit first (2 calls total). For better efficiency, always provide the subreddit parameter when known (1 call total). |
| user_analysisA | Analyze a Reddit user's posting history, karma, and activity patterns. Returns posts, comments, and statistics. |
| reddit_explainA | Get explanations of Reddit terms, slang, and culture. Returns definition, origin, usage, and examples. |

Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of Reddit: browsing subreddits, searching posts, getting post details, analyzing users, and explaining Reddit culture. No two tools overlap in purpose.
Naming patterns are inconsistent: 'browse_subreddit', 'search_reddit', and 'get_post_details' follow verb_noun, but 'user_analysis' and 'reddit_explain' start with noun and are not verb-first. This mix can confuse an agent.
Five tools is well-scoped for a Reddit information-gathering server. It covers browsing, searching, detailed post retrieval, user analysis, and cultural explanation without being over-engineered.
Core read operations are covered, but the server lacks any write capability (posting, commenting) and does not provide subreddit metadata or moderation tools. For a read-only assistant, it is nearly complete.
