I want to get the list of columns/Fields for Reports using Metadata/Tooling API. Please let me know how to do it. 

Thanks

You can use describe calls to get the list of fields for a particular object. Below is the documentation for the same

However for reporting purpose why not use Analytics api directly? More information can be found at http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_analytics/index.htm
