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

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

{"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)

{"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)

{"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)

{"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)

{"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)

{"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)

{"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)

{"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.

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

{"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:

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

Write actions return the created/updated resource:

{"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.

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.
