youtube-transcript-search@1.1.0

VERIFIED· startup only

Publisher claims: "Enables agents to search YouTube videos and grep their transcripts for keywords, returning matching videos with occurrence counts and surrounding context." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

Startup only; authenticated tool behavior not tested.
Tested
server startup over stdio (initialize sent) · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
the tool list (the server exited before answering) · what the tools do when called with real credentials

What this means for the label: Verified here covers what ran. The server's tools were not exercised with a real credential, so nothing about their behavior is asserted; the credential summary below says what to do with that.

Before you give it your token

It will ask for
YOUTUBE_API_KEYConfiguration, not credentials: ALL_PROXY, FILTER_KEYS, YOUTUBE_SEARCH_BACKEND, YT_DLP, YTS_API_BASE, YTS_CACHE_DIR, YTS_COOKIES_FILE, YTS_INTERVAL_MS, YTS_JOB_DIR, YTS_PROXY, YTS_QUIET, YTS_RL_STOP, YTS_SKIP_PROBE
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the codeAlso youtube.com — not the publisher's domain; check what for before connecting.
What the honeypot saw
no credential files read · no network
What we could not test
the tool list (the server exited before answering) · what the tools do when called with real credentials

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard, and read the third-party hosts first. The code names youtube.com as well as its own vendor. The guard injects YOUTUBE_API_KEY only into requests to the host you bind (and its subdomains) and refuses the rest.

$vet-skills run --net declared -- <the server's command>

Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report, including ours. How the guard holds it.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios; startup only; authenticated tool behavior not tested) on 2026-11-09 and scored it 88/100 (Verified). In what ran, nothing we could detect went wrong: no undeclared network egress, no credential reads, no persistent instruction writes. What it does with a real credential was not observed; the static findings and the publisher carry the rest of the score. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
