KEY_READ -> KEY_QUERY_VALUE

Done. Care to explain the difference, though?

I think it's good practice to request least privileges. QUERY_VALUE is all
that's needed for the next line, so it's all that should be requested.

What's the difference between the two?

Feel free to point me to a link if you don't feel like writing a big blurb here
:)  I'm just curious for the future.
