- description: Maya node attribute management — get, set, lock, unlock, and create custom attributes. Use when reading or writing node properties. Not for scene-level operations, node connections, or scripting — use maya-scene, maya-node-graph, or maya-scripting for that.

+ Scene stage — read, write, lock, and create attributes on any Maya node.

+ Use whenever you need to query or set an attribute value with a typed,

+ validated tool instead of dropping into execute_python. Not for connecting

+ attributes (use maya-node-graph) or scripting full procedures (use

+ maya-scripting).

+ Typed wrappers around the most common `maya.cmds` attribute calls

+ (`getAttr`, `setAttr`, `addAttr`, `deleteAttr`, `listAttr`).

- Maya attributes skill. Provides actions for getting and setting attribute values,

- and managing custom attributes on Maya nodes.

+ These are kept as a dedicated skill — instead of being folded into

+ `maya-scripting` — because attribute editing is the single most common

+ operation an agent performs and it benefits from full `inputSchema`

+ validation, error classification, and idempotency hints.

## Scripts

- `get_attribute` — Get the value of an attribute on a Maya node

- `set_attribute` — Set the value of an attribute on a Maya node

- `add_attribute` — Add a custom attribute to a Maya node

- `delete_attribute` — Delete a custom (user-defined) attribute from a Maya node

- `list_attributes` — List attributes on a Maya node
