## Only reads (10)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `get_stats`

- The name "get_stats" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get aggregate statistics for the entire BuildFeed corpus: total videos, channels, categories, topics, and views; the published-date range; and transcript/TLDR enrichment coverage. Use this for high-level "how much data / how fresh" questions rather than per-video detail.
```

### `get_transcript`

- The name "get_transcript" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a bounded transcript window for one video. Prefer search_transcript_passages for discovery; use this tool to inspect surrounding context after selecting a video.
```

### `get_video`

- The name "get_video" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get full detail for a single BuildFeed video — description, channel info, stats, categories, topics, TLDR, and key takeaways (the raw transcript text itself is excluded). Accepts either an 11-character YouTube video ID or a BuildFeed article slug. Use this after search_videos/list_videos to drill into one specific result.
```

### `get_weekly_roundup`

- The name "get_weekly_roundup" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get BuildFeed's weekly roundup content. Without a date, returns the index of available weekly roundups (most recent first) — useful for discovering which weeks exist. With a date (YYYY-MM-DD week key), returns that week's full roundup detail. Use this for "what happened this week" or historical week-by-week summary questions.
```

### `list_categories`

- The name "list_categories" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List all of BuildFeed's video categories (AI, VC, Startup, Product, Design, Tools) with the number of videos in each. Use this to understand the taxonomy before filtering search_videos/list_videos/list_channels by category.
```

### `list_channels`

- The name "list_channels" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List YouTube channels tracked by BuildFeed, with per-channel video counts and categories, sorted by video count descending. Use this to discover which creators BuildFeed covers, optionally filtered to a category.
```

### `list_topics`

- The name "list_topics" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List canonical topic clusters from the full BuildFeed archive, grouped into stable families such as AI & Models, Building, Product, Startups, and Industry. Returns video counts, aliases, content-type distribution, and audience labels.
```

### `list_videos`

- The name "list_videos" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List curated BuildFeed videos, optionally filtered by category and sorted by recency, views, likes, or quality score. Returns compact video records (title, channel, categories, view/like counts, quality score) without transcript or description text. Use this to browse recent/top videos; use search_videos instead when looking for a specific topic.
```

### `search_transcript_passages`

- The name "search_transcript_passages" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search inside transcript passages, returning the most relevant timestamped excerpts across multiple videos. Use this for evidence, quotations, implementation details, or questions whose answer may not appear in a title or summary.
```

### `search_videos`

- The name "search_videos" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full-text search over BuildFeed's curated AI/startup/VC YouTube video library. Scores videos by keyword match across title, topics, TLDR summary, channel name, and key takeaways, ranked by relevance (then recency). Use this when the user asks about a specific topic, person, product, or company and you need to find relevant videos with summaries — not when you just want to browse everything (use list_videos for that instead).
```
