send_reddit_message

Send Reddit DMs to scraped leads via the Signal Found Chrome extension. Three modes (exactly one must be set): - target_username: cold DM to a specific Reddit user - crm_reply_to: reply to an existing CRM conversation - batch_from_working_leads=True: send to all uncontacted ...

Single-target operation

Part of the Reddit Outreach MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use send_reddit_message to create or modify resources in Reddit Outreach. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call send_reddit_message repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Reddit Outreach.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the send_reddit_message tool do? +

Send Reddit DMs to scraped leads via the Signal Found Chrome extension. Three modes (exactly one must be set): - target_username: cold DM to a specific Reddit user - crm_reply_to: reply to an existing CRM conversation - batch_from_working_leads=True: send to all uncontacted working leads for this product Message content: provide a manual message, or set generate_message=True (default) to auto-generate using the product's market positioning and conversion notes via Phase 2. In batch mode, pre-computed suggested_response values are reused when available. Requires a Chrome extension connected and active on Reddit. Fails immediately if none is online. . It is categorised as a Write tool in the Reddit Outreach MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on send_reddit_message? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for send_reddit_message. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Reddit Outreach MCP server.

send_reddit_message is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit send_reddit_message? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the send_reddit_message rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block send_reddit_message completely? +
