    Server tool list (17)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    sponsor_searchSearch sponsors by name, description, industry tags, or filters. Returns compact results (id, name, website, niches, industryTags, country, operations, medianSubscribers). Use sponsor_get for full detail on a specific sponsor.
    sponsor_getGet detailed information about a specific sponsor by ID. Strips raw scrape data and llm internal analysis blobs.
    sponsor_statsGet statistics for a sponsor: number of YouTubers, median subscribers, operations per week/month/year
    sponsor_similarFind sponsors similar to a given sponsor based on industry tags and niches. Returns compact format.
    sponsor_youtubersGet YouTubers who have worked with a sponsor. Returns compact format.
    sponsor_mostActiveGet the most active sponsors in a given period (week/month/year), optionally filtered by language or sponsoring kind. Returns compact format.
    sponsor_recentVideosGet the most recent sponsored videos from a sponsor, ordered by publication date
    sponsor_recentCollaborationsGet the most recent collaboration (one video per YouTuber) with a sponsor, sorted by publication date
    youtuber_searchSearch YouTubers with advanced filters: subscribers, language, niches, sponsors worked with, monthly frequency, etc. Returns compact results. Use youtuber_get for full detail.
    youtuber_getGet detailed information about a specific YouTuber by their YouTube channel ID. Includes llmDescription and llmSponsorProfile (LLM-friendly summaries).
    youtuber_sponsorsGet sponsors a YouTuber has worked with, including video counts for each sponsor. Returns compact format.
    youtuber_recentSponsoredGet the most recent sponsored videos from a YouTuber, with one video per sponsor (sorted by publication date)
    youtuber_similarFind YouTubers similar to a given YouTuber based on content, niches, and sponsors. Returns compact format.
    youtuber_lastActiveBiggestGet the biggest YouTubers who have been active recently (last 15 days) for a specific language. Returns compact format.
    youtuber_addAdd a single YouTuber to the database and trigger the full enrichment pipeline (tags, niches, description, similarity, sponsor detection). Returns a batchId you can poll with import_status. Prefer passing a channel ID (UCxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, 24 chars) — handles ('@xxx') and URLs work too but cost an extra YouTube API quota point per call to resolve.
    youtuber_bulk_addAdd up to 50 YouTubers in one call and trigger enrichment for each. Returns a batchId you can poll with import_status. Strongly prefer channel IDs (UCxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, 24 chars) over handles/URLs — handles cost an extra YouTube API quota point each, which depletes the daily 10k budget faster.
    import_statusPoll the progress of a bulk import batch by its batchId. Returns total/queued/done/failed counts plus startedAt/finishedAt timestamps. Batches expire after 7 days.
