## Why youtube_upload_video is rated Medium

This tool creates new, persistent content on YouTube. While not destructive (can be manually deleted later) or financial, uploading video to a public platform is a significant write operation with potential reputational and copyright implications if misused by an agent. High severity due to the public-facing nature and difficulty of fully removing published content from search/cache.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Upload a video to YouTube' and 'uploads it via the YouTube resumable upload API. Returns the created video resource' — this creates new content on a public platform."

## Use case

AI agents use youtube_upload_video to create or update resources in ScopeGate, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ScopeGate environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
