Reddit Search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to do what it says: it queries public Reddit JSON endpoints for subreddit and post information without credentials, persistence, or local data access.

This looks like a straightforward Reddit lookup tool. Before installing, note that your search terms and subreddit names will be sent to reddit.com, but the artifacts do not show credential use, local data access, persistence, or destructive behavior.

ASI02: Tool Misuse and Exploitation
Info
What this means

Search terms and requested subreddit names are sent to Reddit when the command is used.

Why it was flagged

The script makes outbound HTTP GET requests to Reddit, which is expected for a Reddit search/info skill and is limited to public Reddit JSON endpoints.

const REDDIT_BASE = 'https://www.reddit.com'; ... const response = await reddit.get(path);
Recommendation

Use it only for Reddit queries you are comfortable sending to Reddit; no credentials appear to be required.
