Evidence and Artifacts
Ansight Studio MCP tools for screenshots, visual trees, telemetry timelines, artifact files, exception extraction, session comparison, and bundle export.
Use these Ansight Studio-owned MCP tools when an agent needs richer captured evidence than raw logs and telemetry. This group covers screenshots, visual-tree snapshots, artifact files, unified timelines, exception extraction, session comparison, and full bundle export.
These tool names are the MCP tools/call names exposed by Ansight Studio.
| Tool | Capability |
|---|---|
ansight_get_nearest_artifacts | Return logs, screenshots, visual trees, annotations, telemetry samples, and artifact snapshots nearest to a target timestamp or log entry. |
ansight_extract_exceptions | Find and group exception-like log entries, stack traces, crash markers, and fatal/error clusters across captured sessions. |
ansight_get_session_artifacts | Return a manifest of a captured session’s logs, screenshots, visual trees, annotations, telemetry, artifact snapshots, and analyses. |
ansight_get_screenshot_frame | Return a captured screenshot frame by frame id or nearest timestamp, including image content when requested. |
ansight_get_visual_tree_snapshot | Return the full payload for a captured visual tree snapshot by snapshot id or nearest timestamp. |
ansight_search_visual_tree | Search captured visual tree snapshots by query, node metadata, or normalized point. |
ansight_list_artifact_files | List files and directories captured in session artifact snapshots. |
ansight_read_artifact_file | Read a file captured in a session artifact snapshot, returning text or base64 content with truncation metadata. |
ansight_get_session_timeline | Return a unified chronological stream of logs, screenshots, touches, telemetry, annotations, visual trees, artifact snapshots, and app state. |
ansight_summarize_telemetry_window | Summarize captured telemetry in a time window with per-channel min, max, average, and sample counts. |
ansight_get_telemetry_timeline | Bucket captured telemetry over time with per-channel min, max, average, and sample counts. |
ansight_compare_sessions | Compare two captured sessions for differences in evidence counts, log priorities, telemetry ranges, touch flow, screenshots, and artifacts. |
ansight_export_session_bundle | Write a ZIP bundle containing a session manifest, timeline evidence, screenshots, visual-tree payloads, and artifact files. |
Typical Use
Use ansight_get_session_timeline when the order of events matters. Use nearest-artifact and snapshot tools to pull the evidence around one timestamp. Use ansight_export_session_bundle when the investigation needs to leave the current machine as a durable package.
