Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00041 | $0.00504 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00252 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00101 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
3dsmax-animation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
3ds Max Animation Tools
Inspect timeline state, set bounded transform-key batches, read values and
tangents, exchange dcc-mcp/anim-curves@1 payloads, bake transform samples,
and start viewport playback. All tools touch the live scene through pymxs,
so they declare affinity: main.
Tool contracts live in tools.yaml. Mutating tools require explicit targets or
explicit use_selection=true, validate the complete request before mutation,
and return host-readback evidence with changed-key counts where applicable.
The anim-curves schema remains a thin adapter contract until the Core
verification package tracked by dcc-mcp-core#2261 publishes the shared owner.
The legacy export_animation_curves / import_animation_curves tools remain
available for backward compatibility.
What ships with it
18 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

3dsmax-animation is a skill published in the GitHub repository dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-3dsmax (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 504 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

maya-render
Pipeline stage — render globals, final-frame rendering, and viewport capture: configure render settings, query them, render frames, capture playblasts. Use for producing final or preview imagery.

maya-scripting
Bootstrap stage — escape hatch for Maya work that has no packaged skill yet. Agents should prefer searchskills / dcccapabilitymanifest → loadskill → typed tools (inputSchema + annotations) from domain skills; use executepython or executemel only when no skill matches, for bulk in-process loops, or for API…
dcc-mcp-maya-setup
Set up dcc-mcp-maya for an agent or operator: install Maya Python dependencies with mayapy, generate MCP host configuration, guide the user through loading the Maya plugin, and run a first live-tool smoke prompt.
maya-asset-source
Pipeline stage — asset discovery and resolution. Search local asset libraries, resolve paths to structured AssetDescriptor records, and surface candidate assets for downstream import. Use before maya-import-to-scene to locate what to import.
maya-asset-sync
Consume and publish content-addressed USD revisions with native-editable or fidelity-first Maya modes.

Authoring stage — character / prop rigging: joints, IK, skin clusters, deformers, blend shapes, control curves, skin weights, constraints, and optional rig framework detection. Use when constructing rigs. Not for keyframe animation (maya-animation), pose libraries (maya-pose-library), or final scene assembly…
