- **Supply Chain Security**: 87/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.

Rip YouTube Transcript

Extract the full transcript from a YouTube video. By default, saves the transcript as a Markdown file to disk and returns a resource_link + metadata (title, channel, language, duration, word count, saved path, preview). The full transcript text is NOT returned by default — this keeps context lean and gives the user a persistent file they can reuse. After calling, always tell the user where the file was saved. If you need the transcript text later (summarize, search, extract quotes), read the returned resource rather than re-ripping. Pass return_text: true only for short clips or when the user explicitly asks for the transcript inline. Pass format: 'segments' to save timestamped JSON instead of Markdown.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): Saved file format. 'text' writes a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter and a continuous transcript block (best for RAG/LLM). 'segments' writes a JSON file with timestamped segments (best for chapter…
- `return_text` (boolean): If true, include the full transcript text in the tool response alongside the resource_link. Default: false. Use true only for short clips or when the user explicitly wants the transcript inline.
- `save_path` (string): Optional override for where to save the transcript. Can be an absolute path, a ~/-relative path, a directory (file is named automatically), or a full file path. When you save outside the default dire…
- `url` (string, required): YouTube video URL. Supports any YouTube URL format (watch, youtu.be, embed, shorts, or bare 11-char ID).
