Tools (11)

• schedule_extraction535 tok

  Create a recurring schedule (hourly, daily or weekly) that re-runs one of the user's saved scrapes and delivers each run to email, a Google Sheet or a webhook. This creates a recurring job in the user's Lection account and may use cloud credits: confirm the saved scrape, cadence and destination with the user before calling. Respects the user's plan limits and returns a clear message if one is reached.

• get_run_results274 tok

  Fetch the rows of one of the user's saved scrapes or scheduled runs by id and show them as a table. Use list_my_saved_scrapes or list_my_runs first to find the id.

• youtube_comments208 tok

  Fetch top-level comments from one public YouTube video, given its URL. Returns up to 20 top comments with author, text, like count, reply count, date and the author's channel link. Use it for audience sentiment, feedback mining and finding engaged commenters. Needs a specific video URL; to find videos first use youtube_search.

• list_my_runs208 tok

  List recent runs of the user's schedules with status, row counts and errors.

• youtube_channel_videos195 tok

  List the latest videos on one YouTube channel, given its @handle or URL (for example "@OpenAI" or https://www.youtube.com/@OpenAI). Returns up to 20 recent uploads with title, upload date, view count, duration and URL. Use it to audit a creator or competitor channel. To search all of YouTube by keyword use youtube_search.

• pause_schedule189 tok

  Pause one of the user's schedules so it stops running. The user can resume it from the Lection dashboard. Confirm with the user first.

• youtube_search188 tok

  Search YouTube for videos by keyword, like "n8n automation tutorial" or "best budget laptops 2026". Returns up to 20 videos with title, channel, view count, upload date, duration and URL. Use it for content research, finding competitors and spotting popular topics. To list videos from one specific channel use youtube_channel_videos instead.

• lection_browser_tools_info139 tok

  Explain how to export data from Instagram (comments, followers, following, posts) or LinkedIn (connections) with Lection. These sites require login, so they run in the user's own browser through the Lection Chrome extension rather than inside ChatGPT. Call this whenever the user asks for Instagram or LinkedIn data; it returns the install link and the right tool page.

• list_my_saved_scrapes107 tok

  List the user's most recent saved scrapes in Lection (title, page, row count, id). A saved scrape is the starting point for schedule_extraction and get_run_results.

• list_my_schedules92 tok

  List the user's scheduled extractions: name, cadence, destination, next run and last status.

• my_lection_account70 tok

  Show the linked user's Lection plan, how many schedules they can run, allowed delivery destinations and available cloud credits. Use before scheduling or when a plan limit is hit.
