Setting the allowed url to "youtube.com" results in tool usage failing (up to max_calls times).

Does this mean there are certain sites that the search tool simply can't access?

Yes, it seems so. I’ve tried every possible way to get it to specifically search for YouTube videos and there’s just no way.

Even if you search for videos on a topic with hundreds of highly relevant YouTube videos, and explicitly ask it to find YouTube videos, it still says it found other relevant stuff, but not YouTube videos.
