A4.4/5.0

Scored across 1 tool

Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion between tools. The tool's purpose is clear and unambiguous by default.

Naming Consistency5/5

The single tool name get_youtube_transcript follows a clear verb_noun pattern and is consistent with standard naming conventions. There are no mixed styles or conflicting verb choices.

Tool Count4/5

One tool is minimal but well-matched to the server's narrow purpose of fetching YouTube transcripts. While slightly below the typical 3–15 tool range, the server does not feel under-scoped or artificially padded.

Completeness5/5

The tool fully covers the core domain need by accepting various YouTube URL formats or a bare video ID, returning transcript text, and supporting an optional language parameter. For a transcript-only server, there are no significant missing operations.

get_youtube_transcriptInspect

Fetch the full text transcript of a YouTube video. Accepts a YouTube URL (watch, youtu.be, shorts, embed) or a bare 11-character video ID, and returns the transcript as plain text with title and metadata. Optionally pass a BCP-47 language code to select a specific caption track. Very long transcripts (multi-hour videos) come back in parts of up to 120,000 characters: when there is more, the result ends with a note giving the offset to pass on the next call.
