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

  • strale_npm_package_info

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.
