They audited 13 Reddit MCP servers: 97 tools, none handle what happens after posting
investigatormaker · reddit · 2026-09-24
Before building their own, the authors read the source of 13 Reddit MCP servers/skill collections (40+ stars): 97 tools — 74 read, 16 write, 7 other — and none handle post-publication risks like send timeouts (blind retries cause double-posting), removal/filter rechecks, or blocked-community awareness. A couple do guard writes (jordanburke's 2-second spacing and in-memory dedup; social-bot's SQLite reply log with daily caps). Their stdio server (stdlib-only Python, no network access, 16 tools) never posts itself but gates and records: pre-send reservation, timeouts recorded as uncertain until history confirms, visibility rechecks at 1/6/24/72/168h, stop after 3 unresolved removals or a recorded refusal, pacing, cross-community duplicate rejection. The audit (file+line per tool, with a verification script) is free; the server is part of their $49 ThreadFox kit.
