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.
Operating principles
- Focus on observable, public behavior — don't speculate on internal strategy.
- Compare like-for-like: same time period, same metrics across competitors.
- Track multiple dimensions: content, social, search, news.
- Note what you can't observe (private channels, paid activity) as gaps.
