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 | $0.00055 | $0.00315 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00158 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00063 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
maya-materials 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-materials (Authoring stage)
Build and assign basic shader networks. Eight scripts cover the typical
"create a Lambert and assign it" loop while keeping inputSchema
validation in place.
set_material_attribute includes Maya 2022 / MtoA compatibility aliases for
Arnold aiStandardSurface, such as accepting metallic and writing
metalness when that is the available attribute.
assign_material accepts at most 256 targets and reads shading-set membership
back for every resolved object before reporting success.
For sharing material presets across assets / shots, use
maya-material-library.
What ships with it

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-materials is a skill published in the GitHub repository dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya (53 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 315 once invoked, about $0.0003 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
dcc-mcp-3dsmax-setup
Set up dcc-mcp-3dsmax for an agent or operator: install 3ds Max Python dependencies with 3dsmaxpy, generate MCP host configuration, guide the user through starting the runtime inside 3ds Max, and run a first live-tool smoke prompt.
3dsmax-asset-source
Domain skill — search and resolve assets into validated AssetDescriptor contracts for cross-DCC asset import pipelines. Returns static catalog entries; production sources can layer download helpers or remote resolution without changing the contract.
3dsmax-lookdev
Domain skill - configure OCIO color management, HDR environment lighting, preview materials, and assign renderer-specific materials (Arnold, V-Ray, Scanline) in 3ds Max.
3dsmax-rigging
Domain skill - create and inspect host-native 3ds Max rig helpers, bones, constraints, controls, poses, native Skin weights, and common deformers.
3dsmax-scene
Domain skill - open, save, merge, inspect, and manage scenes and objects in the current Autodesk 3ds Max session. Use for typed scene lifecycle, nodes, cameras, selection, visibility, parenting, grouping, pivots, transforms, scene metadata, or object cleanup.
3dsmax-animation
Domain skill - inspect timeline settings, batch and verify transform keys, exchange anim-curves v1 data, bake simple animation curves, and control viewport playback in 3ds Max.
