Resolvers
Convert @handles and URLs to stable channel IDs for use with workspace tools. These are narrow-use tools — search tools auto-resolve handles and URLs internally.
Resolve a YouTube @handle to a stable channel ID. Use only when you need a raw channel ID for save_channels. Search tools already auto-resolve handles — do NOT call this before searching.
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| handle | string | required | A YouTube @handle (e.g. @cheftok or cheftok). The leading @ is optional. |
Resolve a YouTube channel URL or video URL to a stable channel ID. For video URLs, the owner channel is returned. Use only when you need a raw channel ID for save_channels.
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | required | A YouTube channel URL (youtube.com/@handle, youtube.com/channel/UCxxx) or video URL (watch, shorts, youtu.be). For video URLs the owner channel is returned. |
