# asset-source

Gateway skill for searching and resolving assets into a validated
`AssetDescriptor` ready for cross-DCC import. The demo source returns static
catalog entries keyed by asset name. Production sources can layer download
helpers or remote resolution on top without changing the contract.

## Tools

| Tool | Category | Description |
|------|----------|-------------|
| `search_assets` | Query | Search the asset catalog and return matching `AssetDescriptor` entries |

The skill uses `dcc_mcp_core.AssetDescriptor` (from the shared
`dcc_mcp_core.asset_import` contract) as the wire format so every downstream
DCC adapter speaks the same shape.

## Gateway flow

```
search_skills("asset import") → load_skill("asset-source") → call("search_assets", {query: "table"})
→ AssetDescriptor → load_skill("blender-import-to-scene") → call("import_to_scene", {descriptor: ...})
```
