What it does
Brand Monitoring is an agent skill from sandbaseai/sandbase-skills. Monitor brand mentions, sentiment, and reputation across Twitter, Reddit, news, and social platforms through SandBase. Use when asked for brand monitoring, reputation tracking, social listening, PR coverage analysis, or competitive brand intelligence.
Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sandbase-api-map.md`).
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Social media marketing. It works with X (Twitter) and Reddit. The repository describes itself as: 88 installable open-source Agent Skills for research, social intelligence, marketing, and business workflows—compatible with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and DeepSeek… The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Asked for brand monitoring
- Reputation tracking
- Social listening
- PR coverage analysis
Example prompts
- “/brand-monitoring”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cbab581. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Brand Monitoring loads about 696 tokens when it runs, and up to ~995 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 292 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- brand-monitoring
- description
- Monitor brand mentions, sentiment, and reputation across Twitter, Reddit, news, and social platforms through SandBase. Use when asked for brand monitoring, reputation tracking, social listening, PR coverage analysis, or competitive brand intelligence.
Brand Monitoring
Cross-platform brand reputation and mention monitoring through SandBase. Track what's being said about a brand across Twitter, Reddit, news sources, and Chinese platforms. 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
- Monitor across multiple platforms for complete coverage.
- Separate factual mentions from sentiment/opinion.
- Track both brand name and common misspellings/abbreviations.
- Note platform-specific context (Twitter = real-time, Reddit = community depth, News = authority).
- Keep client brand strategy and competitor lists confidential.
Workflow
1. Twitter monitoring
Use twitter_web_search_timeline to search brand mentions and hashtags.
Use twitter_web_trending to check if brand is trending.
2. Reddit monitoring
Use reddit_app_dynamic_search to find brand discussions across subreddits.
3. News monitoring
Use tavily_search with topic "news" and brand name.
Use google_news_bulk_articles for comprehensive news coverage.
4. Chinese platform monitoring (if applicable)
Use xiaohongshu_app_v2_search_notes for brand mentions on Xiaohongshu.
Use weibo_web_search for Weibo brand mentions.
5. Synthesize
Aggregate mentions by platform, sentiment, volume, and trends.
Output
Return: mention volume by platform, sentiment breakdown (positive/negative/neutral), key influencer mentions, emerging issues, competitive comparison, and trend over time.
Example tasks
- "Monitor what's being said about [brand] across Twitter, Reddit, and news this week."
- "What's the sentiment toward [brand] on social media right now?"
- "Has [brand] been mentioned in any negative news recently?"
- "Compare social mentions between [our brand] and [competitor brand]."
- "Track [product launch] reception across Twitter, Reddit, and 小红书."
