Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
scrape_reddit_urls Scrape Reddit URLs ~146
Scrape specific Reddit URLs: post permalinks (optionally with the full comment thread), user profile URLs (/user/<name>/ returns the user's posts and comments), subreddit listing URLs (/r/<name>/new/, /r/<name>/top/?t=week) or Reddit search-result page URLs. Returns structured JSON rows with a dataType of post, comment, user or community.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| includeCommentThreads | boolean | – | For post URLs, return the comments too |
| includeNsfw | boolean | – | – |
| maxCommentsPerPost | integer | – | – |
| maxPosts | integer | – | Cap for listing/profile URLs |
| urls | array | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
scrape_subreddit Scrape a subreddit in bulk ~155
Pull posts from one or more subreddits in bulk (far more than a single listing page), optionally limited to a date window and optionally with each post's comments. Use for building a dataset of a community, trend analysis, or 'what has r/X been discussing since <date>'. Subreddit names only, not post links.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| includeCommentThreads | boolean | – | – |
| includeNsfw | boolean | – | – |
| maxCommentsPerPost | integer | – | – |
| maxPosts | integer | – | Total posts across all subreddits |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_reddit Search Reddit ~245
Keyword search across Reddit (or inside one subreddit) and return matching posts as structured JSON: title, body, postUrl, communityName, authorName, score, commentsCount, createdAt. Use for brand monitoring, lead generation, market research, 'what is Reddit saying about X'. Search is literal keyword matching, so pass short terms (several are fine) rather than sentences.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| includeCommentThreads | boolean | – | Fetch comments under each matching post (multiplies result count) |
| includeNsfw | boolean | – | – |
| maxCommentsPerPost | integer | – | – |
| maxPosts | integer | – | Total posts across all queries |
| postedAfter | string | – | Only posts on/after this date (UTC) |
| postedBefore | – | – | Only posts on/before this date (UTC) |
| queries | array | yes | Search terms; each runs as its own search |
| searchComments | boolean | – | Also return comments that mention the terms |
| sort | string | – | – |
| subreddit | string | – | Restrict to one subreddit, e.g. 'SaaS' or 'r/SaaS' |
