## Description:
Use to ask the VSS agent's video_understanding tool a fresh visual question about a recorded clip. Not for prior tool output, search hits, or metadata-answerable questions.
This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.
## Owner
NVIDIA
### License/Terms of Use:
Apache-2.0
## Use Case:
Developers and engineers use this skill to ask visual questions about recorded video clips, leveraging the VSS agent's video_understanding tool for VLM-based inference on video frames.
### Deployment Geography for Use:
Global
## Known Risks and Mitigations:
Risk: Review before execution as proposals could introduce incorrect or misleading guidance into skills.
Mitigation: Review and scan skill before deployment.

## Evaluation Tasks:
NVSkills-Eval 3-Tier Evaluation (external profile); Tier 1 static validation (9 checks, 13 findings), Tier 2 deduplication (2 checks, 0 findings). Overall verdict: PASS.
## Evaluation Metrics Used:
Reported benchmark dimensions:
- Security: Checks whether skill-assisted execution avoids unsafe behavior such as secret leakage, destructive commands, or unauthorized access.
- Correctness: Checks whether the agent follows the expected workflow and produces the correct final output.
- Discoverability: Checks whether the agent loads the skill when relevant and avoids using it when irrelevant.
- Effectiveness: Checks whether the agent performs measurably better with the skill than without it.
- Efficiency: Checks whether the agent uses fewer tokens and avoids redundant work.
