How can an AI agent control Cache Inspector?

An MCP-compatible AI agent can use DCC-MCP to inspect SideFX geo, bgeo, and bgeo.sc caches offline through bounded privacy-safe read-only projections. The agent selects the correct application instance or integration, discovers available tools, and reads their parameter definitions before acting and checking the result. These typed tools declare their inputs, outputs, and parameter types.

What can an AI agent do in Cache Inspector?

• detect cache format and decode within public size ceilings.
• inspect counts, primitive families, finite bounds, and attribute definitions.
• verify that raw geometry values and the free-form info block are absent.

Capabilities change with the adapter version and loaded Skills. Search and describe tools first instead of guessing current tool names from this page.

Safe operating flow

1. Install and follow the public dcc-mcp Skill.
2. Inspect the existing CLI, adapter, and live hosts; obtain consent before installing software or changing system state.
3. Use health, dcc-types, and list to verify the Gateway and target instance.
4. Search and describe tools for the actual Cache Inspector task, then follow every returned next_step.
5. Make one bounded change and verify it through host state, files, previews, logs, or rendered output.

Copyable prompt

Use the dcc-mcp Skill to connect to my Cache Inspector session. Inspect the existing CLI, adapter, and live instance first; ask before installing software or changing system state. Search for and describe typed tools related to "inspect counts, primitive families, finite bounds, and attribute definitions", then follow every returned next_step. Do not delete, overwrite, or publish existing work. Make the smallest verifiable change, then check the result against this requirement: "verify that raw geometry values and the free-form info block are absent". Report the instance, tool, result, and evidence path.

Current availability and official source

This is a host-neutral Marketplace Skill, not a standalone adapter. Install it into a concrete DCC with dcc-mcp-cli marketplace install dcc-mcp-cache-inspector --dcc <real-host> --reload; any is not an install directory.

• All AI + DCC control guides: return to every public application and pipeline integration.
• Agent workflow: shared discovery, call, validation, and diagnostic steps.
