get_snapshot
Let the agent see a board, a section or a Frankenstein page without a browser - small thumbnails with positions, or a page's parts in row order with their crop rects. A parts view, not a rendered image.

Inputs
Section titled “Inputs”| Name | Type | Required | Limits | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
canvasId |
string | Yes | 1 to 100 characters | The board |
sectionId |
string | No | a section id from get_canvas |
Show this section’s references with their positions |
stitchId |
string | No | a Frankenstein page id from get_canvas |
Show this page’s parts, row by row |
thumbs |
boolean | No | default true |
false returns the text lines only |
Pass a sectionId or a stitchId, not both. With neither, you get the board’s sections, Frankenstein pages and first references.
A Frankenstein page
Section titled “A Frankenstein page”{ "name": "get_snapshot", "arguments": { "canvasId": "c3f1a0d2-…", "stitchId": "st_…" } }The result is text lines with an image after each one:
Frankenstein page "Checkout A" (st_…, mobile, collage), 2 rows top to bottom.This is a parts view, not a rendered composite: each part below is its full source image, and its crop rect says which band of it the page uses.Row 1: Nav (part pt-…) from dribbble.com https://dribbble.com/shots/… Crop x 0.00, y 0.00, w 1.00, h 0.12 (fractions of the image below; the page uses only this band)[image]Row 2: Hero (part pt-…) from behance.net https://www.behance.net/gallery/… Crop x 0.00, y 0.10, w 1.00, h 0.35 …. Note: steal: the big date[image]Build each row from what you see here; check your build against these images.Builds placed next to the page with add_to_canvas (type build) are listed at the end with their links.
How the thumbnails work
Section titled “How the thumbnails work”- The server fetches each image at its source’s own small size (Pinterest
236x, Dribbbleresize=400x300, Behancedisp) and hands the bytes to the agent in the result. They are never stored, cached, logged or served at any address. - Only image hosts on the search allowlist and Mobbin’s image hosts are fetched. Your uploads and build screenshots are named with their link but not fetched.
- Up to 12 images per call, about 3 seconds each, about 1.5 MB in total. An image over 300 KB with no small size is skipped, and the line says so.
