## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `hn\_get\_stories`: Fetch stories from an HN feed \(top, new, best, ask, show, jobs\), with title, URL, score, author, and comment count for each story.
- `hn\_get\_thread`: Get an item and its comment tree as a threaded discussion, with child comments resolved recursively. Use depth 0 for an item-only lookup. A long thread comes back in pages: pass the returned nextCursor as cursor to continue.
- `hn\_get\_user`: Get an HN user profile with karma, about, and optionally their most recent submissions resolved into full items.
- `hn\_search\_content`: Search Hacker News stories, comments, polls, and jobs via Algolia — by keyword, by filters alone, or both. Filterable by content type, author, parent story, date range, and minimum points.
