description: "Fetch posts from a subreddit sorted by hot, new, rising, or top via browser extraction on old.reddit.com. Returns structured data: title, url, score, comments, author, and flair per post."
overview: |
  Opens any subreddit on old.reddit.com, switches the sort to hot, new, rising, or top as requested, and extracts the visible post list into a structured array. Each post yields its title, permalink, score, comment count, author, and flair — enough context to decide whether a thread is worth reading in full.

  Use it as the opening step of any Reddit engagement sweep, as an input to trend monitoring, or as a primitive for research on community activity patterns. Old.reddit.com is used intentionally because its DOM is more stable than new Reddit for extraction.
