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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00023 | $0.00324 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00162 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
houdini-asset-sync 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
houdini-asset-sync
Content-addressed Houdini Asset Sync for USD. Operator configuration owns all filesystem roots; callers provide only bounded identifiers and relative paths.
publish_usd_revisionpublishes an already-authored USD/USDZ layer without flattening it.read_asset_headinspects the immutable path-free manifest.reference_usd_revisionmaterializes a verified revision and creates a Solaris Reference LOP.
Preserving USD composition maximizes fidelity for animation, UsdSkel, BasisCurves,
MaterialX/UsdShade bindings, units, and up-axis metadata. Use the Maya receiver's
native mode when direct Maya curve/material editing is preferred over composition fidelity.
What ships with it
2 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.

houdini-asset-sync is a skill published in the GitHub repository dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-houdini (12 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 324 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
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-core
Foundation library for the DCC Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem. Provides Rust-powered action management, skills system, IPC transport, MCP Streamable HTTP server (2025-03-26 spec, with 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25 awareness), sandbox security, shared memory, screen capture, USD scene support, and telemetry for…
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-pipeline
Domain skill — Maya asset pipeline orchestration: set up project directory structures, export scenes to USD, and coordinate multi-step DCC workflows. Use when initialising a Maya project or exporting assets for a downstream pipeline. Not for raw geometry editing — use maya-geometry for that. Not for low-level USD file…
