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 | $0.00095 | $0.00940 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00470 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00188 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00094 |
Grade A, and why
maya-geometry 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
maya-geometry (Interchange stage)
Geometry interchange. Despite the legacy name maya-geometry, the
responsibility is interchange, not modelling or native scene-file
persistence. Search hints include maya-interchange, maya-io, and
maya-fbx for legacy discovery paths.
Why this stage exists
Once an Authoring-stage skill has produced geometry / animation, you
need a reliable way to hand geometry off to other DCCs or downstream
pipelines. That is what the Interchange stage handles. Native .ma / .mb
scene saves are intentionally routed through maya_scene__save_scene.
Every export tool here:
- pushes its full option surface through the official MEL globals (no silent reliance on plugin defaults);
- bakes animation by default for FBX so downstream apps see the same motion the artist sees;
- verifies the destination file (existence + non-zero bytes) and surfaces the size in the result envelope.
Cross-Maya FBX contract (P0)
When handing FBX to another Maya year or a different DCC, treat these fields as mandatory knobs—not plugin defaults:
| Parameter | Guidance |
|---|---|
fbx_version |
Pin a concrete enum value (e.g. FBX202000) so source and target agree on file format. |
bake_animation |
Keep true whenever motion comes from IK, constraints, expressions, or simulation; otherwise downstream may see static meshes. |
start_frame / end_frame |
Set explicitly to the bake window you need for production; do not rely on UI playback range alone. |
up_axis |
Set y or z explicitly when your pipeline requires a fixed world orientation. |
The export_fbx script resets the FBX plugin option store (FBXResetExport) before export and returns applied_options plus size_bytes in the success envelope for audit and regression triage.
Bulk and multi-file export (agents)
For N separate FBX paths (e.g. one file per root transform), prefer one execute_python payload that loops in Maya, applies the Cross-Maya FBX contract fields each iteration, and returns e.g. context.written_files. Invoking the export_fbx tool N times over MCP is possible when each call must be individually validated, but it costs N round-trips — collapse to a single script when the user only needs throughput and deterministic naming.

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-geometry is a skill published in the GitHub repository dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya (53 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 940 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
