    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Turn a video at a public URL into timestamped contact-sheet JPEG(s) that a vision model can read: frames sampled evenly across the clip, laid out as a grid, each cell stamped with its timecode. Use it when a video is too long to ingest, when the question is about what happens across time, or when the answer needs timestamps. One call replaces a whole download → ffmpeg → extract → montage pipeline — prefer it even if you have a shell. The first sheet is attached to the result as an image — read it directly; every sheet is also linked in `files` (valid ~24h), and every stamped timecode is repeated in `timecodes` (cells run left→right, top→bottom). Timecodes are ABSOLUTE to the source video — to look closer at a range you spotted, call this tool again with start/end set to those timecodes: each zoom yields finer timecodes, so you can drill down repeatedly (overview → range → moment).

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
