## Why search_reddit is rated Low

This tool queries Reddit for keyword information—a standard read operation on public data. It retrieves information without modifying, deleting, executing code, or triggering financial transactions. The minimal blast radius (returns search results only) confirms low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'search_reddit' and description 'Reddit keyword search' indicate retrieval of publicly available data with 'no side effects' (search operation)."

## Use case

AI agents call search_reddit to retrieve information from Hermoso without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
