What this API does

Return bounded top-level public comments with string IDs, canonical URLs, text, authors, parent IDs, timestamps, scores and reply counts. One opaque provider cursor is accepted per call; nested replies are summarized rather than recursively expanded.

Agents select this operation with tool ID reddit.post-comments, then inspect its current executable contract before a run.
