Scored across 8 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action (scrape vs. retrieve) and resource (subreddit, user, post, comments, sources). The scrape_* tools clearly handle live fetching while get_* and search_* handle local data.
Tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: scrape_subreddit, scrape_user, scrape_post, get_posts, get_comments, get_top_posts, list_scraped_sources, and search_reddit. The naming scheme is predictable and uniform.
8 tools is well-scoped for a Reddit scraper server, covering both ingestion (scraping) and retrieval (querying local data) without unnecessary bloat.
The tool set covers core scraping from subreddits, users, and individual posts, plus retrieval/search of stored data. Minor gaps like deleting scraped data or listing comments per post directly are absent, but the main workflows are complete.
