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 | $0.00043 | $0.00656 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00328 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00131 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00066 |
Grade A, and why
3dsmax-lookdev 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 12d 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 Look Development Skill
Configure environment lighting from HDR/EXR images, set up a three-point light rig, preview materials on test geometry, and assign materials with renderer detection (Arnold, V-Ray, Scanline).
Tools
get_color_management/set_color_management— Inspect or configure the 3ds Max 2024+ scene OCIO config and scene-linear rendering color space. The setter can also select a native frame-buffer display/view pair (for example,sRGB/un-tone-mapped), validates it against the loaded config, and requires an exact host readback. Failed configuration is rolled back.setup_hdr_lighting— Load an HDR/EXR image as the environment map, configure rotation and intensity, and create a renderer-compatible three-point light rig. Arnold scenes use native Arnold lights with host property readback; an unavailable or incompatible light capability fails closed before the environment is changed.set_hdri_rotation— Rotate the active environment for a lighting turntable without rebuilding the rig.preview_material— Create a test sphere or quad, apply a named scene material, and report the viewport-visible result.assign_renderer_material— Detect the active renderer (Arnold/V-Ray/Scanline), create or find a suitable material class, apply it to named nodes, and return a summary.
What ships with it
7 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-lookdev is a skill published in the GitHub repository dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-3dsmax (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 656 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-mesh-ops
Authoring stage — typed polygon construction and editing: loft, lathe, instance arrays, pivots, mirror, combine, separate, and cleanup. Use for creating or modifying polygon topology from explicit scene inputs. Not for primitive creation (use maya-primitives), construction-history or DG inspection (use…
maya-primitives
Authoring stage — schema-validated quick path for creating polygon primitives and editing transforms. Use for predictable, agent-driven primitive creation; the parameters are validated by inputSchema and the results carry structured object names. For complex mesh editing use maya-mesh-ops, for materials use…
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. Not for modeling (maya-mesh-ops), animation editing (maya-animation), generic file import/export (maya-geometry), or render…
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-import-to-scene
Pipeline stage — structured asset import. Consume an AssetDescriptor produced by maya-asset-source and import the asset (FBX, OBJ, USD) into the current Maya scene via cmds.file(). Handles axis/unit conversion, MaterialMode, PlacementHint, and optional target collection grouping. Returns an ImportToSceneResult with…
