Twitter Intelligence

Full-spectrum Twitter/X research and social listening through SandBase. Search public tweets, discover trends, analyze user profiles, and monitor discussions — all read-only, never posts or engages. Read the API map before selecting a capability.

Call SandBase capabilities

Use the capability identifiers below as discovery hints, not MCP tool names. Find the matching endpoint with sandbase_discover(q: "<provider and capability>"); use its returned name in sandbase_inspect(name: "<returned name>"). Read inputSchema, pricing, and execute_as, then call sandbase_run using execute_as.arguments.name and schema-defined arguments. If a run_id is returned, poll sandbase_run_get(run_id: "<returned run_id>") within the task budget until completed or failed; report pending or failed runs without resubmitting them automatically.

Operating principles

• Use Twitter data as social signal evidence, not as representative public opinion.
• Separate observations (tweet volume, engagement, accounts posting) from interpretation (sentiment, trend direction).
• Preserve attribution: include tweet URLs, usernames, dates, and engagement metrics.
• Never post, like, retweet, follow, or engage on behalf of the user.
• Keep monitored accounts and strategy confidential unless sharing is requested.

Workflow

1. Frame the research

Classify the request:

• Trend discovery: what's trending, emerging topics
• Topic monitoring: track discussions around a keyword or brand
• User analysis: profile, content, followers, engagement patterns
• Sentiment tracking: how people feel about a topic or brand
• Competitor intelligence: what competitors post and how audiences respond

2. Search tweets

Use twitter_web_search_timeline for keyword-based tweet discovery:

• Search for brand names, product names, hashtags, or topic phrases
• Use negative keywords to filter noise
• Compare search results for competitors side by side

Use twitter_bulk_tweet_search for higher-volume batch searches.

3. Discover trends

Use twitter_web_trending to find what's trending globally or by location.

4. Analyze users

Use twitter_web_user_profile for account details (bio, follower count, verified status). Use twitter_web_user_media and tweet timeline tools for content analysis. Use twitter_web_user_followers / twitter_web_user_followings for network analysis.

5. Deep-dive tweets

Use twitter_web_tweet_detail for specific tweet metrics and thread context. Use twitter_web_latest_post_comments or twitter_web_post_comments for reply analysis.

Output

Return: search scope, tweet volume summary, key accounts involved, sentiment signals, trend indicators, engagement patterns, and evidence gaps.

Example tasks

• "What are people saying about [brand] on Twitter this week?"
• "Find trending topics in the AI/tech space right now."
• "Analyze @competitor's Twitter presence — posting frequency, engagement, top content."
• "Monitor mentions of [product launch] and summarize sentiment."
• "Who are the most influential voices discussing [topic] on Twitter?"

Failure handling

• If SandBase is unavailable, report the failure and do not substitute a direct API.
• If searches return few results, try broader terms or related hashtags.
• If a user account is private/suspended, note the gap and continue with available data.
