# gc_analyze_comments

> Analyze a rulemaking's comments

Structured corpus analytics for one rulemaking — the verifiable aggregates behind 'summarize the comments': stance_by_type (who supports/opposes, by commenter type), timeline (weekly stance volumes), campaigns (form-letter campaigns vs organic split), issues (what commenters argue about), position_map (organizations × issues with evidence quotes). Request sections individually. You narrate; this supplies the numbers. Paid feature — free plans get the overview aggregates.

## Input

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| rulemaking_idRequired | string | — |
| sections | stance_by_type \| timeline \| campaigns \| issues \| position_map[] | Default ["stance_by_type"]. |
| exclude_campaigns | boolean | Exclude form-letter campaign comments from aggregates. |

## Examples

### Corpus analytics sections

Requested sections return the same aggregates the web charts render; the calling agent narrates the numbers.

    "stance_by_type",
