Actions

Every capability is a discrete, logged action the agent calls by name — scoped to what you authorize and recorded in the run trace.

Create a Reddit postREDDIT_CREATE_REDDIT_POST
Creates a new text or link post on a specified, existing Reddit subreddit, optionally applying a flair. Immediately publishes publicly visible content — confirm subreddit, title, and body with the user before executing. Posts may be silently removed post-submission by automoderator or subreddit rules (errors: SUBMIT_VALIDATION_BODY_BLACKLISTED_STRING, POST_GUIDANCE_VALIDATION_FAILED); verify visibility via the returned permalink. Rapid consecutive calls trigger RATELIMIT errors with cooldown hints.
Delete Reddit commentREDDIT_DELETE_REDDIT_COMMENT
Deletes a Reddit comment, identified by its fullname ID, if it was authored by the authenticated user. Deletion is permanent and irreversible.
Delete a Reddit postREDDIT_DELETE_REDDIT_POST
Permanently and irreversibly deletes a Reddit post by its ID. Confirm with the user before calling. Only works on posts authored by the authenticated account; attempting to delete another user's post will fail.
Edit comment or postREDDIT_EDIT_REDDIT_COMMENT_OR_POST
Edits the body text of the authenticated user's own existing comment or self-post on Reddit; cannot edit link posts or titles.
Get Reddit listing by sortREDDIT_GET
Tool to retrieve a listing of Reddit posts sorted by the specified criteria (hot, new, top, rising, controversial, best). Use when you need to get posts from the Reddit front page or all of Reddit with a specific sort order. Supports pagination and time filtering for top and controversial sorts. For new controversial-post workflows, prefer GET_CONTROVERSIAL; this action retains controversial support for backward compatibility. Use GET_RANDOM for random posts.
Get controversial posts from all subredditsREDDIT_GET_CONTROVERSIAL_POSTS
Tool to retrieve controversial posts from all subreddits with time filters. Use when you need to find the most controversial posts across Reddit from a specific time period (hour, day, week, month, year, or all-time). Returns a paginated listing of posts ranked by controversy within the specified time frame.

Tool to retrieve preference settings of the logged in user. Use when you need to check user preferences or settings.

List subreddit post flairsREDDIT_LIST_SUBREDDIT_POST_FLAIRS
List available link/post flairs for a subreddit (including flair_template_id) so posts can satisfy flair-required validation. Use when you need to discover valid flair IDs before creating a post in a subreddit that requires flair. Note: Reddit may return empty or deny access if the authenticated user cannot set link flair and is not a moderator.
Post a commentREDDIT_POST_REDDIT_COMMENT
Posts a comment on Reddit, replying to an existing submission (post) or another comment. Fails if the target thread is locked, archived, or restricted — verify thread state beforehand. Rapid successive calls trigger Reddit RATELIMIT errors with explicit cooldown hints (e.g., 'take a break for 9 minutes'); honor the specified wait before retrying. A successful API response does not guarantee public visibility — automod or spam filters may silently remove the comment. Publishes immediately and publicly; confirm target and text before executing.
Retrieve Comments for a PostREDDIT_RETRIEVE_POST_COMMENTS
Retrieves all comments for a Reddit post given its base-36 article ID. Response is a two-element listings array: post metadata in `listings[0]`; comments in `listings[1].data.children` with text at each `[].data.body` and nested replies under each comment's `replies` field. Replies require recursive traversal to capture full discussion. Optionally control ordering (`sort`), how many comments are returned (`limit`), and how deep the reply tree is expanded (`depth`) before Reddit collapses remaining replies into `more` placeholders. Large, locked, or archived threads may still return truncated trees regardless of `depth`. Filter out comments where `body` is `[deleted]` or `[removed]`; use `parent_id` to reconstruct conversation flow. No date/time-range filter — compare `created_utc` against a UTC cutoff to filter by date.
Retrieve posts from subredditREDDIT_RETRIEVE_REDDIT_POST
Retrieves posts from a specified, publicly accessible subreddit. Responses nest post data under `data.children[].data`; inspect the structure before parsing. Pagination uses a `data.after` cursor; deduplicate across pages by post `id`. No built-in date filtering; compare `created_utc` (Unix seconds, UTC) client-side. Rate limit: ~1–2 requests/second; back off on HTTP 429.
Retrieve specific comment or postREDDIT_RETRIEVE_SPECIFIC_COMMENT
Retrieves detailed information for a single Reddit comment or post using its fullname. Returns only the specified item, not surrounding thread context; use REDDIT_RETRIEVE_POST_COMMENTS for full discussion retrieval. Deleted, removed, or quarantined items may return empty or partial payloads.
Search across subredditsREDDIT_SEARCH_ACROSS_SUBREDDITS
Searches Reddit for posts using a query. Results are nested under `data.children[i].data` (kind `t3` for posts); a `posts` array may also appear, so inspect the actual response path. Optional `time_filter` restricts results to a time period (hour/day/week/month/year/all). Optional `result_type` must include `link`; non-post types in a mixed search do not appear in the streamlined `posts` field. Empty `children` is a valid no-results outcome. Key post fields: `score`, `num_comments`, `created_utc`, `permalink`. Rate limit: ~1-2 requests/sec; HTTP 429 indicates throttling.
Enable or disable inbox repliesREDDIT_TOGGLE_INBOX_REPLIES
Enable or disable inbox replies for a submission or comment. Use when you want to control whether you receive inbox notifications for replies to your own posts or comments.
