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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00074 | $0.00568 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00284 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00114 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00057 |
Grade A, and why
maya-pipeline 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 10d 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
Maya Pipeline Skill (Advanced)
Demonstrates the full advanced skill layout for dcc-mcp-core:
maya-pipeline/
├── SKILL.md # Frontmatter + instructions

Tools
maya_pipeline__setup_project
Create a Maya project directory with the standard folder hierarchy:
scenes/, assets/, sourceimages/, renderData/, movies/.
maya_pipeline__export_usd
Export the current Maya scene (or selection) to Universal Scene Description.
Integrates with usd-tools for post-export validation.
Composability
This skill depends on two other skills:
| Dependency | Purpose |
|---|---|
maya-geometry |
Reuses geometry creation tools |
usd-tools |
USD validation after export |
When loading via load_skill("maya-pipeline"), ensure the dependency skills
are loaded first:
catalog.load_skill("maya-geometry")
catalog.load_skill("usd-tools")
catalog.load_skill("maya-pipeline")
Metadata directory
The metadata/ directory provides structured side-car documentation:
- help.md — User-facing reference
- install.md — Pre-install steps, environment variables, dependency checks
- uninstall.md — Cleanup steps when removing the skill
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.

maya-pipeline is a skill published in the GitHub repository dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-core (44 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 568 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
