Gen Agent Trust HubpassSAFEThis skill is safe for use. It enables an agent to run natural-language video searches and manage video ingestion (files and RTSP streams) within an NVIDIA Video Search and Summarization (VSS) environment. All network operations are directed at the user-specified VSS host, and the skill correctly utilizes environment variables for authentication.2026-06-16

Skill graph

How this page is produced

The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.

Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.

Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.

An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
