Technical Details
Three-Layer MCP Architecture
Dialog follows the layered abstraction pattern for scalability and self-documentation:
Layer 1: Discovery
discover_operations()
See what operations are available and get workflow recommendations.
Layer 2: Schema Inspection
get_operation_schema("discover_subreddits", include_examples=True)
Understand parameter requirements, validation rules, and see examples before executing.
Layer 3: Execution
execute_operation("discover_subreddits", {
"query": "machine learning",
"limit": 15,
"min_confidence": 0.6
})
Perform the actual operation with validated parameters.
Reddit Research Operations
discover_subreddits
Find relevant communities using semantic vector search across 20,000+ indexed subreddits.
