Tips & gotchas

Ensure your agent has valid API credentials with the necessary scopes to access YouTube Data API v3 endpoints. This tool only interacts with public data; it cannot access private videos or perform actions requiring elevated permissions like uploading or deleting content unless explicitly supported by the installed scope.
