How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability72
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 774 tokens (~193/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_bulk_download_link Get bulk download link ~102
For a YouTube channel or playlist URL, returns a prefilled scripthaul.com link where the user can download every transcript as a ZIP for free. Bulk jobs cannot run over this keyless MCP server; they need the website. Costs 0 credits. Example prompt: "Give me a download link for every transcript in https://www.youtube.com/@TED."
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | YouTube channel or playlist URL (also accepts @handles). |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

No examples provided.
get_latest_videos Get latest channel or playlist videos ~178
Read up to the newest 15 public RSS entries from exactly one channel or playlist, cached for ten minutes. Costs 0 credits and no cold-fetch allowance. Separate allowance: 30 requests per IP per day shared across channels and playlists, including cached reads; resets at midnight UTC. Use a UC channel ID, an already-resolved channel alias, or a public playlist ID/URL; an unknown handle must first be resolved on the keyed API. This is a recent window, not a complete inventory. Example prompt: "What did channel UCAuUUnT6oDeKwE6v1NGQxug upload recently?"
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| channel | string | – | UC channel ID, a /channel/UC… URL, or an already-resolved alias. |
| playlist | string | – | Public YouTube playlist ID or URL. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ok | – | yes | – |
| videos | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_transcript Get YouTube transcript ~206
Fetch the transcript of a single YouTube video by URL or 11-character video ID. Serves the permanent cache instantly when available and otherwise fetches from YouTube (uncached fetches are limited per IP per day). Formats: clean text, timestamped, both, srt, vtt, md, json. Costs 0 credits. Example prompt: "Get the transcript of https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw."
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| format | string | – | Output format. Default "clean" (plain text). "timestamped" prefixes each line with a timestamp; srt/vtt are subtitle files; json is structured. |
| language | string | – | Preferred caption language code such as "en" or "pt-BR". Optional; defaults to English with fallback to whatever track exists. |
| video_url | string | yes | YouTube video URL (watch, youtu.be, shorts, embed, live) or a bare 11-character video ID. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| channel | string | – | Channel name when known. |
| characters | integer | yes | Length of the rendered transcript text. |
| format | string | yes | The output format that was rendered. |
| kind | string | yes | manual = creator captions, asr = auto-generated. |
| language | string | yes | Language of the DELIVERED track. May differ from the requested language when YouTube refuses on-the-fly translation; the text header says so when it happens. |
| title | string | – | Video title when known. |
| video_id | string | yes | The 11-character YouTube video ID. |
No examples provided.
list_videos List videos in a channel or playlist ~141
List the videos of a YouTube channel or playlist: date, video ID, and title for each. Use this to answer questions about a channel — pick the relevant videos by title, then call get_transcript for each one. Listings are cached for a few hours; a fresh enumeration counts against the same daily allowance as uncached fetches. Costs 0 credits. Example prompt: "List the videos in https://www.youtube.com/@TED."
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | Maximum videos to list, newest first for channels. Default 100, maximum 200. |
