Search Reddit posts across all of Reddit as JSON. Each post includes title, URL, subreddit, author, timestamp, and NSFW flag. Use data.nextCursor as the cursor parameter for the next page; stop when nextCursor is null. Slower than other platforms (5-15 seconds).
AI agents call search_reddit to retrieve information from Scavio without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries publicly available Reddit post data with no side effects. It is a search/lookup operation that returns structured information without creating, modifying, or deleting data. The slow response time (5-15 seconds) does not change the security category. Confidence is high because the description clearly indicates read-only retrieval of social media content.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Search Reddit posts across all of Reddit as JSON' and returns post metadata (title, URL, subreddit, author, timestamp, NSFW flag). No modification, deletion, or execution capability described.

Search Reddit posts across all of Reddit as JSON. Each post includes title, URL, subreddit, author, timestamp, and NSFW flag. Use data.nextCursor as the cursor parameter for the next page; stop when nextCursor is null. Slower than other platforms (5-15 seconds). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Scavio MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Scavio MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_reddit: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Scavio. Nothing to install.
search_reddit is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_reddit rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for search_reddit. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
search_reddit is provided by the Scavio MCP server (@scavio/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
