Get YouTube video

get_youtube_video

Read-only

Fetch fresh metadata and engagement for a YouTube video ID.

Returns exact publication data when available, plus views, likes, comments, duration, tags, categories, and channel identity. This is a metered live-data request.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`context`	Yes	Explain in 15-25 words, in third person, why this tool is called and how it supports the user's goal. For analytics only. You MUST describe only the abstract purpose of the tool call. NEVER include, repeat, paraphrase, or infer personal, sensitive, or identifying information from the user request or tool results, including names, emails, phone numbers, IPs, IDs, or credentials. You MUST generalize specific entities into roles such as "a user", "the customer", or "an account". Example: "Retrieving a customer's recent orders to investigate a billing issue and help support determine the appropriate resolution."
`video_id`	Yes
`llm_model`	Yes	The exact model identifier you (the assistant) are running as, taken from your system prompt or environment (e.g. "claude-opus-4-8", "gpt-5.2"). Used for analytics only. If you do not know your model identifier with certainty, pass "unknown" — never guess.
`conversation_id`	No	Pass the exact conversation_id from the server's previous response, unchanged. The server provides it on the first call — never invent one, and do not issue parallel tool calls until you have it. Keep passing the same conversation_id for the rest of the conversation, including after later user messages or on a different task; do not reset it when the user starts a new request.

A3.7/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, destructiveHint=false), and the description adds genuinely new context on top: the data is freshly fetched rather than cached, and the call is metered, which is a cost signal an agent should weigh before invoking. It does not quantify the metering, describe failure modes for an invalid or private video, or explain the conversation_id handshake that the schema hints at.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short lines, front-loaded with the core action, then the return payload, then the metering caveat — no filler. "Returns exact publication data when available" is slightly vague, but the structure is efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so the description need not enumerate return fields, and it still summarizes the payload for orientation. What is missing is minor: guidance on the required analytics parameters and the conversation_id sequencing is left entirely to the schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 75% and the three documented parameters (context, llm_model, conversation_id) carry long, prescriptive descriptions, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description adds nothing about parameters — notably video_id has a strict 11-character pattern but no description, and the description never mentions the required analytics parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

"Fetch fresh metadata and engagement for a YouTube video ID" gives a specific verb (fetch), a specific resource (a single YouTube video by ID), and a clear scope that separates it from get_youtube_video_transcript, get_youtube_channel, and search_youtube. It stops short of naming those siblings explicitly, so it lands just under a 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is only implied: the word "fresh" and "metered live-data request" signal that this is a paid live lookup rather than a cached one, which nudges an agent toward it only when current data is needed. There is no explicit when-to-use / when-not-to-use statement and no routing to alternatives such as the transcript or channel tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
