reddit_resolve_url 2 credits

Identify what a Reddit URL points at before fetching it. Give any reddit.com or redd.it URL (share links, old.reddit.com, trailing params are fine); get back {type: subreddit|user|post|comment, id, handle, canonical_url}. Post URLs yield the t3_ id for reddit_get_post; comment permalinks yield the t1_ id; subreddit and user URLs yield the name for reddit_get_subreddit or reddit_get_user. Costs 2 credits and parses offline without fetching the page. Skip this tool when you already have a t3_/t1_ id, subreddit name, or username: the other Reddit tools accept those directly. Not for non-Reddit URLs; it returns INVALID_INPUT for those.

Errors

REST returns application/problem+json; MCP returns the same content as an error result. message is written as the next-turn instruction.

Code	HTTP status	Retriable	Meaning
`INVALID_INPUT`	400	no	A parameter failed validation. Check param and message for what to fix.
`NOT_FOUND`	404	no	Nothing matches the given identifier or URL.
`UNAUTHORIZED`	401	no	Missing, invalid, or revoked API key.
`NOT_ENTITLED`	403	no	This account is not enabled for the platform you called.
`INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS`	402	no	Your balance can't cover this call's quote. Check get_usage or add credits.
`QUOTE_EXCEEDS_MAX_CREDITS`	402	no	The call's quote is higher than the max_credits you set. Nothing was charged.
`IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REQUIRED`	400	no	This is a metered call; send an Idempotency-Key header.
`IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED`	409	no	That Idempotency-Key was already used with different arguments. Use a new key for a new call.
`CONCURRENCY_LIMIT`	429	yes	Too many calls in flight for this key's plan. Wait for one to finish.
`RATE_LIMITED`	429	yes	Too many calls per minute for this key's plan. Back off and retry.
`TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED`	403	no	A trial-only limit was hit (concurrency, rate, search size, or realtime fetches).
`BUDGET_EXHAUSTED`	503	no	A configured spend budget has been used up.
`UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE`	502	yes	LinkedIn data wasn't reachable. Safe to retry.
`PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE`	413	no	The request or response exceeded the size limit.
`INTERNAL`	500	yes	Something failed on our side. Safe to retry.

Errors a payment can fix add fields to this shape. INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS, TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED, and BUDGET_EXHAUSTED carry upgrade_url (give it to your human) and offer, its machine-readable twin; RATE_LIMITED and CONCURRENCY_LIMIT carry both on trial accounts only, where a paid plan raises the limit. offer holds offer_version (1), reason (the error code), currency ("usd"), recommended (which pack to lead with, currently flex), packs (pack, mode, price_usd_cents, credits or credits_per_month, and when, a short label for when that pack fits), rails (currently stripe_checkout), checkout_url (the same account-bound link as upgrade_url), resume, and refund_policy. Follow offer.resume after payment: INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS retries the same call with the SAME Idempotency-Key; TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED and BUDGET_EXHAUSTED retry with a fresh key; the two limit codes clear on their own with back-off, payment only raises the limit. INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS also sets credits_required: the credits the failed call needed. The failed attempt charged nothing.
