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.
corpus_add ~120
Fetch a video's transcript, chunk it, and store local embeddings in an existing corpus. Use this after `corpus_create`; it skips an already-indexed video by default. `force_reembed=true` deletes and replaces that video's existing local chunks and vectors. This modifies local corpus data and may contact YouTube; returns indexing status and chunk count.

| force_reembed | boolean | – | Re-embed even if already indexed |
| url | string | yes | YouTube video URL or ID |

No examples provided.
corpus_create ~61
Create a named corpus for semantic search over transcripts. Each corpus uses a fixed embedding model.
