UniFi Protect: Get Event Thumbnails
unifi_protect_get_event_thumbnailsFetches still frames for up to six UniFi Protect events at once, returning them inline for vision inspection so you can identify who or what triggered motion events lacking smart detection.
Instructions
Fetch the still frames for SEVERAL events at once and return them inline to look at. This is the tool for answering who or what was actually there, and it matters most when a camera has no smart detection: motion events carry no classification, so the only way to tell a person from a branch is to look. Prefer this over calling unifi_protect_get_event_thumbnail repeatedly. Costs roughly 1-2K tokens per image, so it is capped at 6 — pick the events worth seeing from unifi_protect_list_events rather than sweeping a whole night. Events that have no thumbnail are reported by id instead of failing the call.
