Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

Name	Description
list_transcript_languagesA	List the subtitle tracks available for a YouTube video. Call this when you do not know which languages a video has, or after get_transcript reported that the requested language is unavailable. Args: url: YouTube video URL (watch, youtu.be, shorts or embed form), or the bare 11-character video id. Returns: One line per track: " - (manual\|auto-generated)".
get_transcriptA	Get the full transcript text of a YouTube video. Returns the whole transcript as plain text without timestamps. Long videos produce long text: a two-hour video is roughly 20-30 thousand words. If the requested language is unavailable, English is used as a fallback. If neither exists, this fails and lists the languages the video does have - pick one of them and call again. Args: url: YouTube video URL (watch, youtu.be, shorts or embed form), or the bare 11-character video id. language: Language code of the wanted transcript, e.g. "en", "ru", "de". Returns: The transcript as a single plain-text string.
