YouTube Video Formats with Separate Audio-Only and Video-Only Streams

omnial/youtube-video-adaptive-stream-formats

Given a YouTube video ID, lists its stream formats without download links: the combined audio-and-video format and the separate audio-only and video-only (adaptive) streams, each with itag, MIME type, average bitrate, width, height, quality and label, frame rate, audio sample rate, size in bytes and type. Also returns the title, channel name, length, view count, live flag, available qualities, thumbnail address and description text with link addresses removed.

Five steps: search, inspect, learn, run, settle. No per-tool setup; your agent reaches this tool through the meta-tools it already has.

agent

// 1. search: find the tool
omnial_search({ query: "what you need" })

// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "omnial/youtube-video-adaptive-stream-formats" })

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "omnial/youtube-video-adaptive-stream-formats" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "omnial/youtube-video-adaptive-stream-formats", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
omnial_execute({ tool: "omnial/youtube-video-adaptive-stream-formats", input: { /* ... */ } })

// 5. settle: the call is charged when it finishes, nothing to do
