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-api".
• Detailed examples: call agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution with action: "get_instructions" and tool_id: "youtube-api", 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.

MCP schema lookup through the main AgentPMT MCP server:

    "arguments": {
      "action": "get_schema",

    }
  }
}

{
  "action": "get_instructions",
  "tool_id": "youtube-api"
}
