YouTube posting options

get_youtube_settings
Read-onlyIdempotent

Reads, from YouTube, the connected channel a Short would go to: its name and handle, who can be chosen to watch (public, unlisted, private) and the longest Short (3 minutes). Call it before publishing to YouTube, show the user the channel, and ask them for a title (at most 100 characters), who can watch it, and whether it is made for kids. Pass their answers in create_post as platformTargets.youtube: title, privacyStatus, isMadeForKids. The video must be vertical or square.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful context beyond that: what fields are read, the 3-minute Short limit, the 100-character title limit, and the vertical/square video requirement. It does not cover auth/error behavior, which keeps it at 4.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is front-loaded with purpose and returned fields, then moves efficiently into usage and downstream action. Every sentence adds distinct value without repetition or filler.

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?

For a zero-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description supplies enough detail about what is returned and how to use it. It stops short of covering edge cases such as no connected channel or permission failures, so it is strong but not fully complete.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description correctly provides no parameter guidance because there are none, though it does mention downstream create_post fields that are not parameters of this tool.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description uses a specific verb ('Reads') and resource ('connected channel a Short would go to') and enumerates the exact data returned: channel name/handle, privacy options, and maximum Short length. YouTube-specific framing also distinguishes it from the sibling get_tiktok_settings tool.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It gives clear usage context: call before publishing to YouTube, show the user the channel, ask for title/privacy/kids settings, and pass answers into create_post. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, so it falls just short of a 5.

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