Reading Attributes

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to read an attribute value, fetch mesh data (points, faceVertexCounts, etc.), inspect a render setting, or sample transforms.

Inputs

Resolve inputs in this order: existing repository files and referenced snippets, explicit user request, then broader agent context.

• Target API surface: Python, C/C++, or both.
• Reusable ovstage query, interned attribute token, expected USD value type, and scalar versus array read mode.
• Target consumer: CPU NumPy, C DLTensor, GPU-aware DLPack consumer, or metadata/schema inspection.
• Whether the caller needs raw storage, shape/dtype discovery, or values copied out for later use.
• Repository source snippets referenced below. Treat these snippets as the API source of truth.
