Video QnA using VLM through VSS Agent
Use this skill when you need details about the video which requires VLM to look at the video frames — for example the agent has no usable prior answer and needs a fresh look at the pixels for a specific clip.
When to Use
- The user asks what happens in the video, what objects / people / actions appear, colors, timing, safety, or other visual facts that require watching the clip.
- The user asks for details that cannot be answered from existing messages, summaries, Elasticsearch/MCP results, or filenames alone—you need model inference on the video.
- Follow-up questions about content details after a coarse summary or after report generation.
Do not use this skill when a database / MCP / prior tool output already answers the question, unless the user explicitly wants verification against the video.
Deployment prerequisite
This skill requires a VSS profile that serves the video_understanding tool — typically base (recommended) or lvs. Before any request:
-
Probe the VSS agent:
curl -sf --max-time 5 "http://${HOST_IP}:8000/docs" >/dev/null -
If the probe fails, ask the user:
"No VSS profile is running on
$HOST_IP. Shall I deploybase(recommended for per-clip VLM QnA) using the/vss-deploy-profileskill? If you preferlvs, say so."- If yes → hand off to
/vss-deploy-profile -p base(or-p lvsif the user prefers). Return here once it succeeds. - If no → stop.
- If yes → hand off to
-
If the probe passes, proceed.
Sensor prerequisite
You MUST list VST sensors before any /generate call. This is required even when the user names the sensor explicitly, even when the user asserts the video is already uploaded, and even when a previous turn appeared to use the same video. Do not skip this step.
-
List sensors:
curl -sf --max-time 5 "http://${HOST_IP}:30888/vst/api/v1/sensor/list" | jq '.[].name' -
Compare the returned
namevalues against the user-supplied<sensor-id>(or filename stem, e.g.warehouse_safety_0001). -
If a matching sensor is present → proceed to the Agent workflow below.
-
If no matching sensor is present — upload the video first, then re-list to confirm the new sensor appears:
# filename: must not contain whitespace # timestamp: ISO 8601 UTC — default 2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z if user did not specify curl -s -X PUT "http://${HOST_IP}:30888/vst/api/v1/storage/file/<filename>?timestamp=<timestamp>" \ -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \ -H "Content-Length: <file_size_in_bytes>" \ --upload-file /path/to/<filename> | jq .See
/vss-manage-video-io-storagefor full upload semantics (v1 vs v2, conflict handling, delete flow). In interactive runs, confirm with the user before uploading. Never issue an unconditional PUT without first running the sensor-list check above — that is exactly the failure mode this prerequisite exists to prevent.
Agent workflow
The Sensor prerequisite above must have already confirmed (or made) the sensor exist on VST. Then:
- Clip — Identify sensor id, filename, or URL for one video segment. If ambiguous, ask the user.
- Call vss agent with the sensor id and ask for it to call video_understanding tool to answer the user's question.
- Return the vss agent's answer back to the user.
Query VSS agent (/generate)
# Set from deployment (compose / .env / host where vss-agent listens)
export VSS_AGENT_BASE_URL="http://localhost:8000"
curl -s -X POST "${VSS_AGENT_BASE_URL}/generate" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"input_message": "Call video_understanding tool to answer the following question about <sensor-id>: <user query>"}' | jq .
Response contract and extraction
/generate returns a JSON object with the assistant output in value, for example:
{"value":"<agent-think><agent-think-step ...>...</agent-think-step></agent-think>\n\n<final answer>\n\n"}
There is no separate clean-answer field. The consumable answer is the text in .value after removing any <agent-think>...</agent-think> block.
Required handling for this skill (and any downstream caller):
- Read
.valuefrom the JSON response. - Strip
<agent-think>...</agent-think>sections wherever they appear. - Return only the remaining final-answer text to the user.
Example extraction:
curl -s -X POST "${VSS_AGENT_BASE_URL}/generate" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"input_message":"Call video_understanding tool to answer the following question about <sensor-id>: <user query>"}' \
| jq -r '.value' \
| python3 -c 'import re,sys; t=sys.stdin.read(); t=re.sub(r"<agent-think>.*?</agent-think>\s*", "", t, flags=re.S); print(t.strip())'
Cross-Reference
- vss-manage-video-io-storage — VST storage/replay URLs so
VIDEO_URLis valid for the VLM. - vss-generate-video-report — timestamped reports via Mode A (direct VLM) or Mode B (video-analytics incidents); this skill is VSS-agent
/generatefor ad-hoc video Q&A.

# Video QnA using VLM through VSS Agent
Use this skill when you need details about the video which requires VLM to look at the video frames — for example the agent has **no** usable prior answer and needs a **fresh look at the pixels** for a specific clip.
---
## When to Use
- The user asks **what happens in the video**, what **objects / people / actions** appear, **colors**, **timing**, **safety**, or other **visual facts** that require watching the clip.
- The user asks for **details** that **cannot be answered** from existing messages, summaries, Elasticsearch/MCP results, or filenames alone—you need **model inference on the video**.
- Follow-up questions about **content details** after a coarse summary or after report generation.
Do **not** use this skill when a **database / MCP / prior tool output** already answers the question, unless the user explicitly wants **verification** against the video.
---
## Deployment prerequisite
This skill requires a VSS profile that serves the `video_understanding` tool — typically **base** (recommended) or **lvs**. Before any request:
1. Probe the VSS agent:
```bash
curl -sf --max-time 5 "http://${HOST_IP}:8000/docs" >/dev/null
```
2. **If the probe fails**, ask the user:
> *"No VSS profile is running on `$HOST_IP`. Shall I deploy `base` (recommended for per-clip VLM QnA) using the `/vss-deploy-profile` skill? If you prefer `lvs`, say so."*
- If yes → hand off to `/vss-deploy-profile -p base` (or `-p lvs` if the user prefers). Return here once it succeeds.
- If no → stop.
3. If the probe passes, proceed.
---
## Sensor prerequisite
**You MUST list VST sensors before any `/generate` call.** This is required even when the user names the sensor explicitly, even when the user asserts the video is already uploaded, and even when a previous turn appeared to use the same video. Do not skip this step.
1. List sensors:
```bash
curl -sf --max-time 5 "http://${HOST_IP}:30888/vst/api/v1/sensor/list" | jq '.[].name'
```
2. Compare the returned `name` values against the user-supplied `<sensor-id>` (or **filename stem**, e.g. `warehouse_safety_0001`).
3. **If a matching sensor is present** → proceed to the Agent workflow below.
4. **If no matching sensor is present** — upload the video first, then re-list to confirm the new sensor appears:
```bash
# filename: must not contain whitespace
# timestamp: ISO 8601 UTC — default 2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z if user did not specify
curl -s -X PUT "http://${HOST_IP}:30888/vst/api/v1/storage/file/<filename>?timestamp=<timestamp>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
-H "Content-Length: <file_size_in_bytes>" \
--upload-file /path/to/<filename> | jq .
```
See `/vss-manage-video-io-storage` for full upload semantics (v1 vs v2, conflict handling, delete flow). In interactive runs, confirm with the user before uploading. **Never** issue an unconditional PUT without first running the sensor-list check above — that is exactly the failure mode this prerequisite exists to prevent.
---
## Agent workflow
The Sensor prerequisite above must have already confirmed (or made) the sensor exist on VST. Then:
1. **Clip** — Identify **sensor id**, **filename**, or **URL** for one video segment. If ambiguous, ask the user.
2. Call vss agent with the sensor id and ask for it to call video_understanding tool to answer the user's question.
3. Return the vss agent's answer back to the user.
## Query VSS agent (`/generate`)
```bash
# Set from deployment (compose / .env / host where vss-agent listens)
export VSS_AGENT_BASE_URL="http://localhost:8000"
curl -s -X POST "${VSS_AGENT_BASE_URL}/generate" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"input_message": "Call video_understanding tool to answer the following question about <sensor-id>: <user query>"}' | jq .
```
### Response contract and extraction
`/generate` returns a JSON object with the assistant output in `value`, for example:
```json
{"value":"<agent-think><agent-think-step ...>...</agent-think-step></agent-think>\n\n<final answer>\n\n"}
```
There is no separate clean-answer field. The consumable answer is the text in `.value` after removing any `<agent-think>...</agent-think>` block.
Required handling for this skill (and any downstream caller):
1. Read `.value` from the JSON response.
2. Strip `<agent-think>...</agent-think>` sections wherever they appear.
3. Return only the remaining final-answer text to the user.
Example extraction:
```bash
curl -s -X POST "${VSS_AGENT_BASE_URL}/generate" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"input_message":"Call video_understanding tool to answer the following question about <sensor-id>: <user query>"}' \
| jq -r '.value' \
| python3 -c 'import re,sys; t=sys.stdin.read(); t=re.sub(r"<agent-think>.*?</agent-think>\s*", "", t, flags=re.S); print(t.strip())'
```

## Cross-Reference
- **vss-manage-video-io-storage** — VST storage/replay URLs so **`VIDEO_URL`** is valid for the VLM.
- **vss-generate-video-report** — timestamped **reports** via **Mode A (direct VLM)** or **Mode B (video-analytics incidents)**; this skill is **VSS-agent `/generate`** for ad-hoc **video Q&A**.

Check dependencies, API costs and permissions before proceeding.
Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Start with one small task
- 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
- 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
- 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
