Perplexity

Manage community growth for the whole squad.

The `create_quest` tool lets your entire team automatically create new quests and campaign structures. You can also manage user bans using `ban_user`, ensuring everyone follows the same moderation rules set by Copilot Chat.

Retrieve core community data streams.

Getting leaderboards is straightforward: use `get_leaderboard` to fetch rankings, filtered either by sprint or all-time. You can also view current modules and available quests using `list_modules` and `list_quests`.

Handle user accounts and webhooks.

Your Copilot Chat instance can fetch basic community details with `get_community`. For automation, it handles setting up external triggers by calling `create_webhook`, or clearing them out using `delete_webhook`.
