LinkedIn Research

LinkedIn professional intelligence through SandBase. Research companies, analyze professional profiles, track industry content, and monitor job markets. 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 LinkedIn data for professional research and B2B intelligence only.
• Respect professional privacy — report on public information only.
• Preserve context: include company names, titles, dates, and engagement.
• Never attempt to connect, message, or apply on behalf of the user.

Workflow
