Agent Surfaces#

• YouTube OAuth readiness
• dry-run upload
• synthetic media metadata
• recent videos
• resumable upload

Safety And Privacy#

• Use only for user-owned channels and media. Never upload without explicit user intent and final confirmation.
• Do not print OAuth tokens, API keys, service-account JSON, local token files, or private user data.
• Prefer connection_status, manifest, doctor, privacy_audit, or dry-run surfaces before any write or live provider call.
• These tools are not medical, legal, financial, or platform-policy advice. Keep user consent explicit.

Example Prompts#

• Install and verify YouTube Shorts Agent for Claude Desktop without exposing secrets.
• Run the manifest, connection status, and privacy audit for YouTube Shorts Agent.
• Explain what user data YouTube Shorts Agent can expose and what should remain opt-in.
