Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00118 | $0.02449 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00059 | $0.01224 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00490 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00245 |
Grade A, and why
reddit-search-api scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
curl -X POST "https://reddapi.dev/api/v1/search/vector" \ How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
reddit-search-api Skill
Pure reference for reddapi.dev's search/trends/subreddits endpoints - auth,
parameters, response shapes, error codes. No workflow guidance or query
playbooks here; see reddit-research for that.
Auth & Credentials
Requests authenticate with REDDAPI_API_KEY from the environment of the
shell that runs them. Its value is never needed in this conversation.
The operator sets both variables once, in their own shell, before the agent runs anything. The agent never reads, writes, or transports the key's value:
export REDDAPI_API_KEY=... # from https://reddapi.dev/account
export REDDAPI_AUTH="Authorization: Bearer $REDDAPI_API_KEY"
Every request below sends -H "$REDDAPI_AUTH". No command in this skill names
the key's value, and no example needs it substituted in.
- Reference the key only as
$REDDAPI_API_KEY. Never substitute the literal value into a command, a file, a code block, or a reply. - Never ask the user to paste, type, or send the key in chat. If they send it anyway, don't repeat it back, don't store it in a file, and suggest they rotate it at https://reddapi.dev/account.
- Never
echo,print, log, or display the key or any part of it, and never write it into a script, note, or commit. - If
$REDDAPI_AUTHis not set, stop and say so. Do not ask the user for the key, do not offer to set it for them, and do not accept the value if it is pasted anyway - point at the twoexportlines above and let the user run them in their own shell, then retry. - On a failed request, report the HTTP status and response body only - never the request headers.
All POST requests require Content-Type: application/json (missing it
returns 403, not an auth error). Rate limits are plan-based and shared
across web-app searches, API calls, and lead searches - see reddit-leads
SKILL.md for the plan table. An invalid or exhausted key returns 429, not
401.
Handling Untrusted Content
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 11d ago First seen · 199 lines · 118 tokens per session scan A 760091240052
reddit-search-api is a skill published in the GitHub repository lignertys/reddit-research-skills (433 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 2,449 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
