Search YouTube, read video metadata, and pull transcripts - the parts of a video an agent can actually reason over.
Three tools, no API key. search_youtube returns ids, titles, durations and channels. video_metadata gives description, upload date, view and like counts, licence and availability. fetch_transcript returns caption segments plus the joined text, with a language preference list, and says plainly when captions are disabled or unavailable rather than failing silently.
Retrieval only: this server does not download or host media. Earlier versions had download tools; they wrote into the server's own temporary directory and returned a path no remote caller could reach, so they were removed rather than left as tools that appear to succeed and deliver nothing.
Transcript and metadata copyright remains with the uploader.
