| get_youtube_channel_statsA | Resolve a company domain, or a YouTube handle, to that company's YouTube channel. Returns the subscriber count, the stable UC channel id, channel name, creation date and description, as one flat Clay ready row. Subscriber counts are rounded by YouTube above roughly a thousand subscribers, on the page and in its official API alike, and the row flags that. Optional transcript pulling is available and is CURRENTLY GATED by YouTube: the caption track list is readable and the caption content endpoint returns an empty body without a proof of origin token, which the row reports as not_extractable rather than as a video having no captions. No API key needed. Read only; requires an APIFY_TOKEN and consumes Apify credits per call. |

Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap.
The single tool name 'get_youtube_channel_stats' is clear and follows a verb_noun pattern, though there are no other tools to compare for consistency.
A single tool is on the low end, but it is focused on a narrow task (retrieving channel stats and optionally transcripts). Still, it may feel limited for a server dedicated to YouTube channels.
The tool covers channel stats and transcript extraction, but lacks other typical operations like searching for channels, listing videos, or fetching video details, leaving significant gaps for a comprehensive YouTube channel assistant.
