Produces pricing benchmarks, tier comparisons, and feature-per-price analysis. Read [the API map](references/sandbase-api-map.md) before selecting a capability.

## Call SandBase capabilities

- `google_shopping_bulk_products`
- `amazon_bulk_product_details`
- `context_dev_extract_structured_data`
- `firecrawl_scrape`

## 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.

- Always call `sandbase_describe_tool` before using any capability.
- Cite sources and preserve attribution (URLs, usernames, dates, metrics).

- If data is unavailable, note the gap and continue with available evidence.
- Read-only research only. Never take actions on platforms.
