WHAT IT DOES

What list_youtube_videos does on Tanod

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`url`	string	Yes	YouTube video, playlist or channel https URL.
`limit`	integer	—	Most videos from the first page; no pagination.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why list_youtube_videos is rated Low

Even though list_youtube_videos only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_youtube_videos safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tanod, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_youtube_videos, this is the rule to start with:

list_youtube_videos Allowed

list_youtube_videos is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_youtube_videos": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tanod, apply this rule, and every list_youtube_videos call is checked against it from then on.
