Scored across 3 tools
Each tool serves a distinct purpose: fetching subreddit posts, fetching comments for a specific post, and searching Reddit. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.
All tools share the reddit_ prefix, and two use verb_noun (get_posts, get_comments). The third, reddit_search, deviates slightly by using a bare verb, but the pattern is still clear and predictable.
Three tools is a well-scoped set for a Reddit reading server, covering core read operations without unnecessary bloat.
The server covers the primary read workflows: viewing posts, viewing comments, and searching. Minor gaps like fetching a specific post by ID or user profiles could be added, but the core domain is adequately covered.
