Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

• findConsistentOutlierChannels

  A powerful, high-cost discovery tool. It finds emerging channels that show consistent, high-performance relative to their size within a specific topic and timeframe.

• getChannelStatistics

  Retrieves statistics for multiple channels. Returns detailed metrics including subscriber count, view count, video count, and channel creation date for each channel. Use this when you need to analyze the performance and reach of multiple YouTube channels.

• getChannelTopVideos

  Retrieves a channel's most popular videos. CRITICAL: Requires a valid `channelId` (starting with 'UC...'), NOT a channel handle or name. Use `searchVideos` (type='channel') first to find the `channelId` if you only have a name.

• getTranscripts

  Retrieves specific, meaningful segments of a video's transcript. By default, it returns the intro 'hook' and the final 'outro' or call to action. It can also return the full transcript text. Use this to efficiently analyze a video's key messaging.

• getTrendingVideos

  Retrieves trending videos based on region and category. Returns a list of videos that are currently popular in the specified region and category. Use this when you want to discover what's trending in specific areas or categories. To get available category IDs and their names, use the getVideoCategories tool first.

• getVideoCategories

  Retrieves available video categories for a specific region. Returns a list of YouTube video categories with their IDs and titles that can be used for filtering trending videos or other category-specific operations. Different regions may have different available categories.

• getVideoComments

  Retrieves comments for a video. Warning: Setting `maxReplies` > 0 significantly increases API cost. Only set `maxReplies` if you specifically need to analyze conversation threads. Defaults to top-level comments only.

• getVideoDetails

  Get detailed information about multiple YouTube videos. Returns comprehensive data including video metadata, statistics, and content details. Use this when you need complete information about specific videos.

• searchVideos

  Universal search tool for YouTube content. Use this to find **videos** (default) or **channels**. To find a specific content creator, you MUST set `type` to 'channel'. Supports filtering by `recency` (e.g., 'pastWeek') and `videoDuration`. Returns `videoId` or `channelId` needed for other tools.
