# Community Research

Research online communities across Reddit, Telegram, and social platforms. Analyzes community size, engagement patterns, discussion themes, moderation culture, and member demographics for community strategy, partnership, and go-to-market planning. Read [the API map](references/sandbase-api-map.md) before selecting a capability.

## Call SandBase capabilities

For every selected tool, call `sandbase_describe_tool` first and use only arguments in its current input schema. Then call `sandbase_call_tool` with the exact `tool_name`.

## Available Tools

- `reddit_app_subreddit_info`
- `reddit_app_subreddit_feed`
- `reddit_app_community_highlights`
- `telegram_web_channel_search`
- `telegram_web_channel_info`
- `facebook_bulk_groups`

## Workflow

1. Understand the user's research question, target, and context.
2. Call `sandbase_describe_tool` for each selected tool to confirm parameter schema.
3. Call `sandbase_call_tool` with the exact tool_name and schema-defined arguments.
4. Synthesize findings into a clear, evidence-backed answer.
5. Cite sources, note evidence gaps, and separate observations from interpretations.

## Guidelines

- Always call `sandbase_describe_tool` before using any capability.
- Cite sources and preserve attribution (URLs, usernames, dates, metrics).
- Separate factual observations from analysis and recommendations.
- If data is unavailable, note the gap and continue with available evidence.
- Read-only research only. Never take actions on platforms.
