# particle_podcast_get_suitability_leaderboard

> Rank podcast publishers by IAB/GARM brand-suitability composition across their analyzed catalogs.

<Note>
  In the **`podcast_suitability`** category, which is **opt-in** — it is callable by name on any connection, but only advertised on `tools/list` when selected via `?include=podcast_suitability`. See [Tool sets & discovery](/mcp/tool-sets).
</Note>

Rank podcast publishers by IAB/GARM brand-suitability composition across their analyzed catalogs: `safest` (highest SAFE share), `riskiest` (highest UNSAFE share), `most_placeable` (highest SAFE+LIMITED share — the broadly buyable slice), or `most_analyzed` (coverage).

Publisher slugs feed [`particle_podcast_get_publisher`](/mcp/tools/podcast_publishers/podcast-get-publisher) (use `include: ["suitability"]` there for one publisher's full profile). For exposure to one specific GARM category, use [`particle_podcast_list_suitability_category_publishers`](/mcp/tools/podcast_suitability/podcast-list-suitability-category-publishers). A single podcast's breakdown is [`particle_podcast_resolve`](/mcp/tools/podcasts/podcast-resolve) with `include: ["suitability"]`.

## Inputs

| Field                   | Type             | Required | Default  | Description                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ----------------------- | ---------------- | -------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `metric`                | string           | no       | `safest` | How to rank publishers: `safest` (SAFE share), `riskiest` (UNSAFE share), `most_placeable` (combined SAFE+LIMITED share), `most_analyzed` (absolute analyzed-podcast count). |
| `min_analyzed_podcasts` | integer (1–1000) | no       | 5        | Exclude publishers with fewer analyzed podcasts (guards against tiny catalogs dominating share metrics).                                                                     |
| `limit`                 | integer (1–50)   | no       | 10       | Publishers per page.                                                                                                                                                         |
| `cursor`                | string           | no       | —        | Opaque pagination cursor.                                                                                                                                                    |

## Output

A markdown document with `## Publisher suitability leaderboard — <metric> (N)` and a flat bullet list — one bullet per ranked publisher, formatted `#<rank> Publisher name (publisher-slug) — N analyzed; SAFE n, LIMITED n, SENSITIVE n, UNSAFE n; metric X.XX`. When more pages exist, a horizontal rule and a `**Cursor:** <value>` line are appended.

Sample (`metric="safest", limit=3`):

```markdown theme={"dark"}
## Publisher suitability leaderboard — safest (3)

- #1 BBC Radio 4 (bbc-radio-4) — 22 analyzed; SAFE 20, LIMITED 2, SENSITIVE 0, UNSAFE 0; metric 0.91
- #2 NPR (npr) — 41 analyzed; SAFE 35, LIMITED 5, SENSITIVE 1, UNSAFE 0; metric 0.85
- #3 Goalhanger (goalhanger) — 14 analyzed; SAFE 11, LIMITED 3, SENSITIVE 0, UNSAFE 0; metric 0.79
```

The parenthesized `publisher-slug` feeds [`particle_podcast_get_publisher`](/mcp/tools/podcast_publishers/podcast-get-publisher).

## Example

```text theme={"dark"}
Agent calls: particle_podcast_get_suitability_leaderboard {
  "metric": "most_placeable",
  "min_analyzed_podcasts": 10,
  "limit": 25
}
```
