What it needs first
Required Reddit Ads
Preconditions
- Connect Reddit and explicitly select an authorized ad account. Native account eligibility and permissions apply.
- Read reddit_get_setup_guide and use only the capabilities enabled for this account.
- The account is among the chosen accounts, confirmed via list_accounts.
Evidence every conclusion must carry
- Every figure carries its account, metric and window.
- Anything below a readable sample size is reported as unjudged, not as zero.

Decision rules
The observable condition, what it lets you conclude, and what takes the conclusion back.
- When An audience is empty or an identifier cannot be resolvedConclude Report the missing evidence; an audience object does not prove matched members or delivery.
- When Targeting differs from demographic performanceConclude Keep configuration and observed reach separate; expansion and privacy thresholds can explain differences.
Where the agent stops
The readout changes nothing. Any change it motivates goes through Safe Writes: preview, human confirmation, then apply.
How it goes wrong quietly
The cases where the analysis is wrong and still looks right. Read them before trusting a number.
- Read native criterion types and all pages; one targeting response may not cover every criterion.
- Do not upload customer identifiers as part of a configuration audit.
