Keyapi Reddit

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent KeyAPI Reddit analysis helper, with the main caution that its optional setup stores a KeyAPI token in the user's shell profile.

Install this if you are comfortable using KeyAPI for Reddit analysis. Prefer the interactive setup command over passing --token on the command line, treat KEYAPI_TOKEN as a secret, and review broad report requests because repeated or multi-page runs will make live KeyAPI calls and may consume credits.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Finding
The script persists KEYAPI_TOKEN into the user's shell profile, modifying startup files outside the immediate Reddit-analysis task. While likely intended as a convenience setup helper, this creates long-lived credential exposure risk: the token is stored in plaintext in a broadly loaded profile file, may be inherited by future shells/processes, and the script writes to user environment configuration automatically.
