## Why search_channel is rated Low

This tool performs a query/search operation to retrieve channel information from YouTube. It has no side effects—it only reads and returns data about existing channels. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'search_channel' and description states 'Busca canal en YouTube' (Search channel on YouTube). This is a search operation that retrieves information about YouTube channels without modifying, deleting, or executing operations."

## Use case

AI agents call search_channel to retrieve information from YouTube MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

```json

    "search_channel": {}
  }
}
```
