+/**
+ * Comment analysis done by the model that called us, rather than by Gemini.
+ *
+ * ## Why
+ *
+ * `analyze_comments` used to fetch a comment section, send it to Gemini, and
+ * return Gemini's opinion. That cost 6 credits, took a round trip to a third
+ * party, and died when that third party declined — measured: `Gemini text 403
+ * Forbidden` while `get_post_comments` returned the same post's comments fine.
+ *
+ * The reasoning itself is not the hard part. It is text over text, and the
+ * model already holding the conversation is better at it than Gemini Flash and
+ * costs us nothing. What we are actually selling is the fetch: the upstream
+ * call is where the money goes.
+ *
+ * So the tool returns the comments and gets out of the way. It is the same
+ * upstream call `get_post_comments` makes, priced the same, with the material
+ * laid out for analysis and an explicit account of what to produce.
+ *
+ * ## Why the caller is told what to produce
+ *
+ * A model asked to "analyse these comments" writes prose. Prose cannot be
+ * rendered as chips, filtered, or counted. Naming the shape turns the answer
+ * into something `show_comment_review` can draw and a person can sort — and it
+ * makes two runs comparable, which free-form prose never is.
+ *
+ * ## Why this taxonomy
+ *
+ * Every category here is something a comment section actually contains and a
+ * reader would act on differently: a bug report goes to engineering, a request
+ * goes to the content calendar, a comparison goes to positioning. Categories
+ * that would need information the comment does not carry — "churn risk",
+ * "purchase intent" — are deliberately absent. This is the classification I
+ * would not invent from keywords server-side, and the reason it is possible
+ * now is that a model is reading the words rather than matching them.

+/**
+ * The material, not a conclusion.
+ *
+ * ## The shape of the argument
+ *
+ * Every tool here used to do the same two things — fetch something from a
+ * platform, then have Gemini read it. Only the first half is expensive to us
+ * and hard to replicate; the second is text over text, which the model already
+ * holding the conversation does better, steers itself, and costs us nothing.
+ *
+ * So the second half is gone. Each of these tools now makes the same upstream
+ * call the corresponding data tool makes — billed as that call, not as an AI
+ * one — and returns the inputs with an explicit account of what to produce.
+ * There is no other behaviour and no argument that selects one: what the
+ * server sells is the fetch, and it never sells a judgement.
+ *
+ * ## Visual tools are the interesting case
+ *
+ * `analyze_post` and `understand_social_post` were the one place a text model
+ * genuinely could not substitute: you cannot reason about a video you have not
+ * seen. But the caller *can* see — MCP carries images in a tool result and
+ * hosts pass them to their model as real images. Measured on Claude Code
+ * 2.1.258: a 1280x720 frame costs ~1,212 tokens, eight frames in one result
+ * were read back correctly and in order, and the same bytes sent as text were
+ * unreadable. Twenty frames is about 2.4% of a million-token context.
+ *
+ * So the visual tools return frames — actual image blocks — plus the
+ * transcript. Frames and words together are what "watching it" decomposes
+ * into, and both are things we already fetch.
+ *
+ * ## Why every result carries instructions
+ *
+ * A tool result is the only channel to the calling model — prompts are
+ * user-controlled and cannot drive anything. So the guidance below is not
+ * documentation; it is the steering, and it lands in the model's context.
