dcc-diagnostics

dcc-diagnostics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-core. It costs 84 tokens per session (536 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A debugging toolkit for digital content creation software such as Maya, Blender, Houdini, and Unreal. It can capture screens, inspect logs and tool performance, and check whether tracked processes are running.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture the current screen, review recent tool calls, measure invocation speed and success rates, and check process health.
Why use it?
It helps find out what went wrong when an automation or skill fails, including whether the application is still running and whether a tool was denied or slow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

dcc-diagnostics 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/audit_log.py, scripts/process_status.py, scripts/screenshot.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

DCC Diagnostics

Cross-DCC observability and debugging tools powered by dcc-mcp-core.

All tools work in any DCC environment (Maya, Blender, Houdini, Unreal, 3ds Max) or standalone Python — no DCC-specific APIs required.

Tools

dcc_diagnostics__screenshot

Capture the current screen or a specific window as a PNG/JPEG image. Backed by the dcc_mcp_core.Capturer class which uses:

  • Windows: DXGI Desktop Duplication API (<16ms per frame)
  • Linux: X11 XShmGetImage
  • Fallback: Mock synthetic backend (headless/CI)

dcc_diagnostics__audit_log

Query the sandbox audit log from dcc_mcp_core.SandboxContext. Returns recent tool invocations with outcome (success/denied) and timestamps.

dcc_diagnostics__tool_metrics

Inspect per-tool performance counters from dcc_mcp_core.ToolRecorder: invocation count, success rate, average latency, P95/P99 percentiles.

dcc_diagnostics__process_status

Check process health via dcc_mcp_core.PyProcessMonitor. Lists tracked PIDs and their liveness status.

Usage with any DCC MCP server

import os

os.environ["DCC_MCP_SKILL_PATHS"] = "/path/to/dcc-diagnostics"

from dcc_mcp_maya import start_server  # or dcc_mcp_blender, etc.

handle = start_server(port=8765)
# dcc_diagnostics__screenshot is now available as an MCP tool
Files

What ships with it

5 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.

Changes

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.
