# YouTube Comment Manager

## Freshness
Last updated: `2026-06-09`.

If the current date is more than 7 days after the last updated date, reinstall this skill from skills.sh or ClawHub before relying on endpoints, schemas, setup steps, or examples.

## What This Tool Does
Take control of every conversation happening on your YouTube channel. Triage the spam queue, ban repeat offenders, hold borderline comments for review, and reply to genuine fans without ever opening YouTube Studio. Pull comment threads by video, channel, or moderation status; search across all your comments for keywords; edit or delete your own posts; and moderate flagged comments in bulk. Whether you're a solo creator drowning in crypto bots after a viral upload, a community manager running comment moderation across a brand's channel, or an agent automating audience engagement at scale, this tool turns hours of comment triage into minutes of confident action — keeping your discussion section clean, your viewers engaged, and your channel's reputation protected.

## Product Instructions
### YouTube Comment Manager

Read, write, update, delete, and moderate YouTube comments and replies on the connected channel using the viewer's Google OAuth token.

#### Required Connection

All actions except `get_instructions` require a connected Google account with YouTube scopes (`youtube.force-ssl`). The OAuth token is injected automatically by AgentPMT — do not pass `google_oauth` in your tool call.

#### Actions

##### `list_comment_threads`
List top-level comment threads. Provide **exactly one** of `video_id`, `channel_id`, or `thread_ids`.

Required (one of):
- `video_id` (string) — fetch threads on a single video
- `channel_id` (string) — fetch all threads across the channel's videos
- `thread_ids` (array of strings) — fetch specific threads by ID

Optional:
- `include_replies` (bool, default false) — embed reply comments in each thread
- `text_format` (`plainText` | `html`, default `plainText`)
- `moderation_status` (`heldForReview` | `likelySpam` | `published`, default `published`) — filter threads by moderation state on a video or channel you own/moderate. Use with `video_id` or `channel_id` (not with `thread_ids`); the held-for-review and likely-spam queues are only visible to the channel owner.
- `order` (`time` | `relevance`, default `time`)
- `search_terms` (string) — server-side text filter
- `max_results` (1-100, default 25)
- `page_token` (string) — from a prior response's `nextPageToken`

```json
{"action":"list_comment_threads","video_id":"dQw4w9WgXcQ","include_replies":true,"order":"relevance","max_results":50}
```

```json
{"action":"list_comment_threads","channel_id":"UCxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","moderation_status":"heldForReview","max_results":100}
```

##### `get_comment_threads`
Fetch specific threads by ID. Use this after `list_comment_threads` to get richer payloads or refresh state.

Required:
- `thread_ids` (array of strings)

Optional:
- `include_replies` (bool)
- `text_format` (`plainText` | `html`)

```json
{"action":"get_comment_threads","thread_ids":["UgxAbc123","UgxDef456"],"include_replies":true}
```

##### `create_top_level_comment`
Post a new top-level comment on a video as the connected account.

Required:
- `channel_id` (string) — the **viewer's** channel posting the comment, not the video owner's
- `video_id` (string)
- `text` (string, max 10000 chars)

```json
{"action":"create_top_level_comment","channel_id":"UCviewerChannel","video_id":"dQw4w9WgXcQ","text":"Great breakdown — the part on cohort retention was especially useful."}
```

##### `list_replies`
List reply comments under a top-level comment.

Required:
- `parent_comment_id` (string) — the top-level comment ID

Optional:
- `text_format` (`plainText` | `html`)
- `max_results` (1-100, default 25)
- `page_token` (string)

```json
{"action":"list_replies","parent_comment_id":"UgxParent123","max_results":50}
```

##### `reply_to_comment`
Reply to an existing top-level comment.

Required:
- `parent_comment_id` (string)
- `text` (string, max 10000 chars)

```json
{"action":"reply_to_comment","parent_comment_id":"UgxParent123","text":"Thanks for the question! The repo link is in the description, and I walk through the setup in the pinned comment."}
```

##### `get_comments`
Fetch comments by ID. Useful for resolving the `text` of a reply or the snippet of a parent.

Required:
- `comment_ids` (array of strings)

Optional:
- `text_format` (`plainText` | `html`)

```json
{"action":"get_comments","comment_ids":["UgxComment1","UgxComment2"]}
```

##### `update_comment`
Edit text on a comment owned by the connected account. You cannot edit other authors' comments.

Required:
- `comment_id` (string)
- `text` (string, max 10000 chars)

```json
{"action":"update_comment","comment_id":"UgxOwnedComment","text":"Edit: fixed the timestamp I referenced — the asyncio section starts at 12:04, not 10:40."}
```

##### `delete_comment`
Permanently delete a comment owned by the connected account.

Required:
- `comment_id` (string)

```json
{"action":"delete_comment","comment_id":"UgxOwnedComment"}
```

##### `moderate_comments`
Set moderation status for one or more comments on videos the connected account owns. Channel owners only.

Required:
- `comment_ids` (array of strings)
- `moderation_status` (`heldForReview` | `published` | `rejected`)

Optional:
- `ban_author` (bool, default false) — only valid with `moderation_status: "rejected"`. Bans the author from commenting on the channel going forward.

```json
{"action":"moderate_comments","comment_ids":["UgxSpam1","UgxSpam2"],"moderation_status":"rejected","ban_author":true}
```

```json
{"action":"moderate_comments","comment_ids":["UgxHeld1"],"moderation_status":"published"}
```

#### Common Patterns

**Triage spam queue:**
1. `list_comment_threads` with `channel_id` and `moderation_status: "likelySpam"` to surface flagged threads
2. Inspect `text` and author; for legitimate comments call `moderate_comments` with `moderation_status: "published"`; for confirmed spam call `moderate_comments` with `moderation_status: "rejected"` and optionally `ban_author: true`

**Engage on a launch video:**
1. `list_comment_threads` with `video_id`, `order: "relevance"`, `include_replies: true`
2. For each high-signal thread, call `reply_to_comment` with `parent_comment_id` and the response text

**Audit owned comments:**
1. `list_comment_threads` filtered by `search_terms` matching your past content
2. `update_comment` to correct, or `delete_comment` to remove

#### Pagination

`list_comment_threads` and `list_replies` return `nextPageToken` in the response when more results exist. Pass that value back as `page_token` to fetch the next page. Stop when `nextPageToken` is absent.

#### Response Shape

All responses wrap the YouTube Data API v3 payload:

```json
{"action":"list_comment_threads","response":{"kind":"youtube#commentThreadListResponse","items":[...],"nextPageToken":"..."}}
```

Write actions return the created/updated resource:

```json
{"action":"reply_to_comment","comment":{"id":"UgxNewReply","snippet":{"textDisplay":"...","authorDisplayName":"..."}}}
```

`delete_comment` and `moderate_comments` return `{"deleted": true}` or `{"updated": true}` because the YouTube API returns 204 No Content on success.

#### Permission Notes

- **Read** actions work on any public video.
- **Write** actions (`create_top_level_comment`, `reply_to_comment`) require the video to allow comments and the account to not be blocked.
- **Edit/Delete** actions only work on comments authored by the connected account.
- **Moderation** actions only work on videos owned by the connected channel. `moderate_comments` on a video you don't own returns 403.
- `ban_author` is irreversible from this tool — banned authors must be unbanned through YouTube Studio.

#### Scope

This tool covers comments, threads, and moderation only. Use **YouTube Channel Management** for video uploads, thumbnails, captions, playlists, channel sections, and watermarks.

## Live Schema And Examples
Use the compact schema above for ordinary calls. Before a new production integration, or whenever parameters, enum values, nested objects, outputs, or examples are unclear, fetch live details first.

- Exact schema: call `agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution` with `action: "get_schema"`, and `tool_id: "youtube-comment-manager"`.
- Detailed examples: call `agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution` with `action: "get_instructions"` and `tool_id: "youtube-comment-manager"`, or call this product with `action: "get_instructions"` when the product tool is already selected.
- Treat returned live schema and instructions as more specific than this generated summary.
