List videos on the authenticated channel (newest first via the uploads playlist). Returns video IDs, titles, view counts, and privacy status.

Fetch full details for one video by ID — snippet, status, statistics, duration.

Permanently delete a video. Requires confirm_video_title to match the video's current title exactly — guards against deleting the wrong video by ID. Deletion is irreversible.

Update a video's metadata — title, description, tags, category, or privacy. Only provide fields you want changed.

Create a new playlist on the authenticated channel. Default privacy is 'private'.

Add a video to an existing playlist. Both playlist_id and video_id are YouTube IDs (not URLs).

List top-level comment threads on a video (newest first). Returns comment IDs, authors, text, and like counts.

Reply to a top-level comment. Requires youtube.force-ssl scope.

Change the moderation status of a comment: heldForReview (hide pending approval), published (approve), or rejected (delete).

Query YouTube Analytics for the authenticated channel. Returns tabular data — useful for views/watch-time/retention/traffic-source reports. Date-ranged and optionally grouped by dimensions.

List caption tracks on a video with their language, name, status, and whether they are drafts.

Upload a caption track (SRT or WebVTT) to a video. Creates a new track — use a distinct name per language/track, or is_draft=true while iterating.

Delete a caption track by ID. Use list_captions to find the track ID first.

List your recent Shorts — scans the most recent uploads and filters to videos ≤60s. Useful when the Data API doesn't expose a direct Shorts filter.

Query YouTube Analytics restricted to Shorts for the authenticated channel. Applies filters=creatorContentType==SHORTS on top of the usual start_date/end_date/metrics/dimensions knobs.
