Best Practices

Use read-only scopes for research

When only reading Reddit content, use read-only OAuth scopes to limit permissions.

Respect rate limits

Reddit has rate limits – add delays between requests when processing many posts.

Filter by subreddit

Specify target subreddits in agent instructions for more relevant, focused results.

Check content age

Reddit results can be years old – filter by created_utc when you need recent information.
