vss-manage-video-io-storage skillA
vss-manage-video-io-storage is agent-read markdown (skill) from nvidia-ai-blueprints/video-search-and-summarization: Use to call the VIOS REST API (sensor list, timelines, clip extraction, snapshots, add/delete sensors and streams) and to provision a source into a headless (no-agent) build, which the deployment fans out to the perception consumers (RT-CV/RT-Embed/RT-VLM). Not for VLM inference, semantic search, or agent-backed ingestion..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
## Purpose Manage VIOS and NvStreamer API operations for VSS video input/output and storage workflows: sensors, streams, uploads, snapshots, clips, timelines, and recording status. ## Prerequisites - The `vss` CLI on `PATH`. The OpenClaw and Hermes harness images ship it; anywhere else, install it from the same checkout as this skill so the CLI and the skill match: `uv tool install <checkout>/libs/vss/cli`. - Active VSS deployment reachable through `VSS_PUBLIC_URL` (Kubernetes Ingress) or `$HOST_IP` (Docker Compose). - NGC credentials in `$NGC_CLI_API_KEY` and `$NVIDIA_API_KEY` for any image pulls. - `curl` and `jq`; Docker is needed only for Compose deployment diagnostics. ## Instructions # VIOS Operations Call the VIOS REST API to manage cameras/sensors, RTSP streams, recordings, snapshots, and storage. Use when asked to: add a camera, add an RTSP stream, list sensors, show configured sensors/cameras/streams, check stream status, get a snapshot, download a clip, upload a video file, or manage video storage. Query the VIOS API directly using curl — do not navigate the UI. **Upload routing rule:** …

How to install
mdr add nvidia-ai-blueprints/video-search-and-summarization/vss-manage-video-io-storage@v3.2.0mdr add nvidia-ai-blueprints/video-search-and-summarization/vss-manage-video-io-storage@sha256:8a18a9712b32efddPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
