YouTube tools in Cogny
Cogny's YouTube integration exposes 8 tools (8 read) to an AI agent over MCP. The same tools are available on every plan, from your own AI client or inside the Cogny app.
- Read (8): only reads data.
- Write (0): creates or changes something.
- Destructive (0): deletes, removes or replaces something.
Over MCP your own AI client asks before it runs a write. To take a tool away from your agent, block it in Settings → Integrations. Plans, approvals and limits.
