    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Read a YouTube video as text. Give a YouTube link and get back the title, channel, and the full spoken transcript with timestamps. For AI agents that cannot watch video.

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.
