  • get_hn_comments

    Fetch the discussion (top-level comments, actual text) on a Hacker News story by its item ID. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "what are people saying about <HN story>", "HN discussion / developer sentiment on X". get_item returns only comment IDs; this resolves them to text. Find a story ID via get_top_stories or search_hn. Returns each top comment author, text, time, and reply count.

  • get_stories

    Fetch Hacker News stories of a given TYPE: top (default), new (newest), best, ask (Ask HN), show (Show HN), or job (jobs/hiring). PREFER for "newest HN stories", "top Ask HN posts", "Show HN", "HN job postings / who is hiring". Returns title, URL (or self-text for Ask/Show), score, author, comment count, and timestamp.

  • get_top_stories

    Fetch the current live top-ranked Hacker News stories from the Firebase API. Returns up to `count` stories (default 10) with title, URL, score, author, comment count, and Unix timestamp.
