Reddit actions 23
Every Reddit action below is a callable tool any Definable persona can invoke.
Create a 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 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 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 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 sort
Tool to retrieve a listing of Reddit posts sorted by the specified criteria (hot, new, top, etc.). 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/controversial sorts.
Get controversial posts from all subreddits
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.
Get user preferences
Tool to retrieve preference settings of the logged in user. Use when you need to check user preferences or settings.
Get new posts from subreddit (Deprecated)
DEPRECATED: Use RetrieveRedditPost instead. Tool to retrieve newest posts from a subreddit sorted by creation time. Use when you need to find the most recently submitted posts to discover fresh content. Returns a paginated listing of posts ranked by newest first.
Get random Reddit post
Tool to retrieve a random public Reddit post from any subreddit. Use when you want to discover serendipitous content or need a random post for testing or entertainment purposes.
Get user information
Retrieves information about a specified Reddit user account, including karma scores and gold status. Use when you need to get profile information for any public Reddit user.
Get top posts from subreddit
Tool to retrieve top-rated posts from a subreddit with time filters. Use when you need to find the most popular posts from a specific time period (hour, day, week, month, year, or all-time). Returns a paginated listing of posts ranked by score within the specified time frame.
Get OAuth scopes
Tool to retrieve all available OAuth scopes supported by the Reddit API. Use when you need to understand what permissions are available or check scope definitions.
Get subreddit rules
Fetch the explicit posting rules for a subreddit to ensure compliance before posting or commenting. Use when you need to verify content meets community guidelines or explain subreddit requirements to users.
Search subreddits
Tool to search subreddits by title and description. Use when you need to find subreddits matching a specific topic or keyword. Returns a paginated listing of subreddits with their details including subscribers, descriptions, and other metadata.
Get user flair
Fetches the list of user flair assignments for a given subreddit. Returns paginated results with user flair details. Returned flair_id values are scoped to the specific subreddit and must not be reused across different subreddits.
Check username availability
Tool to check whether a username is available for registration on Reddit. Use when you need to verify if a username can be used to create a new account.
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 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 Post
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. Large, locked, or archived threads may return truncated trees or `more` placeholders rather than full results. Filter out comments where `body` is `[deleted]` or `[removed]`; use `parent_id` to reconstruct conversation flow. No time-filter parameter — compare `created_utc` against a UTC cutoff to filter by date.
Retrieve posts from subreddit
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 post
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 subreddits
Searches Reddit for posts/comments using a query. Results nested under `data.children[i].data` (kind `t3` for posts); a `posts` array may also appear — inspect actual response path. No native time-range filter; compare `created_utc` (Unix epoch, UTC) client-side for recency filtering. 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 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.
