Reddit Research
General-purpose Reddit research and community intelligence through SandBase. Search across all of Reddit, monitor subreddits, analyze discussions, and discover trending content. Read the API map 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.
Operating principles
- Read-only research. Never post, vote, comment, or message.
- Treat Reddit as qualitative community signal, not representative polling.
- Preserve provenance: post URLs, subreddit, score, date, comment count.
- Search across multiple subreddits to avoid single-community bias.
