    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_latest_videos" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read up to the newest 15 public RSS entries from exactly one channel or playlist, cached for ten minutes. Costs 0 credits and no cold-fetch allowance. Separate allowance: 30 requests per IP per day shared across channels and playlists, including cached reads; resets at midnight UTC. Use a UC channel ID, an already-resolved channel alias, or a public playlist ID/URL; an unknown handle must first be resolved on the keyed API. This is a recent window, not a complete inventory. Example prompt: "What did channel UCAuUUnT6oDeKwE6v1NGQxug upload recently?"

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_transcript" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch the transcript of a single YouTube video by URL or 11-character video ID. Serves the permanent cache instantly when available and otherwise fetches from YouTube (uncached fetches are limited per IP per day). Formats: clean text, timestamped, both, srt, vtt, md, json. Costs 0 credits. Example prompt: "Get the transcript of https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw."

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "list_videos" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the videos of a YouTube channel or playlist: date, video ID, and title for each. Use this to answer questions about a channel — pick the relevant videos by title, then call get_transcript for each one. Listings are cached for a few hours; a fresh enumeration counts against the same daily allowance as uncached fetches. Costs 0 credits. Example prompt: "List the videos in https://www.youtube.com/@TED."

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
