## About YouTube Transcript with LuumenAI

Connect YouTube Transcript and the agent can work with your stored captions directly. It lists and searches transcripts you already hold, reads job and batch status, checks which languages exist for a video, and resolves the videos behind a playlist or channel. When new captions are needed, it fetches them for one video or a batch of up to ten and stores the result.

## Example tools

Read-only (7 in total):

- `YOUTUBE_TRANSCRIPT_GET_STORED_TRANSCRIPT` — Read a transcript already stored in the connected account without submitting new transcription work or consuming retrieval credits.
- `YOUTUBE_TRANSCRIPT_GET_VIDEO_TRANSCRIPT_JOB_STATUS` — Read one transcript job's current processing, completed, failed, or requires-ASR-confirmation state without creating work or waiting.
