# 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. ## All tools | Tool | Kind | What it does | |---|---|---| | `get_channel` | Read | Channel profile and lifetime stats. | | `list_channel_videos` | Read | A channel's uploads, newest first, with views, likes, comments and duration. | | `get_videos` | Read | Stats and details for specific videos. | | `get_channel_performance` | Read | Upload cadence and performance of a channel's recent videos, computed server-side. | | `search_videos` | Read | Keyword search across YouTube (or within one channel), with stats for each hit. | | `list_playlists` | Read | A channel's public playlists with item counts. | | `list_playlist_items` | Read | Videos in a playlist, in playlist order. | | `list_comment_threads` | Read | Public top-level comments (with up to 5 replies each) on a video or across a channel. | Exact input schemas come from `tools/list` once YouTube is connected; the free plan is enough to check. Missing something? Your agent can ask for it with `request_feature`. --- All integrations: https://cogny.com/integrations/tools/index.md Plans, approvals, limits and data protection: https://cogny.com/buying-guide.md What Cogny is: https://cogny.com/llms.txt
