description	Scene stage — scene file lifecycle and DAG navigation. Use for new / open / save scenes, hierarchy queries, selection management, and top-level organisation. Not for mesh editing or interchange (FBX/OBJ): use maya-mesh-ops or maya-geometry instead.

maya-scene (Scene stage)

Scene file lifecycle (new / open / save) plus DAG navigation: list, select, group, parent, freeze, lock, query bounding boxes, list cameras, create/edit cameras, set frame rate, etc.

Groups

• core (default_active: true) — Read-only scene queries (get_scene_info, get_selection, get_session_info). Active in minimal mode.
• scene-management (deactivated in minimal mode) — write-side tools: open / save / group / parent / camera / set selection, etc. Activate with activate_group("scene-management") when the agent needs to mutate the scene.

Scripts

• new_scene — Create a new empty Maya scene
• save_scene — Canonical native .ma/.mb scene save; use maya-geometry for FBX/OBJ interchange
• open_scene — Open a Maya scene file
• list_objects — List objects in the current Maya scene
• get_selection — Return the current Maya selection
• get_scene_info — Return a hierarchical DAG description of the current scene
• get_session_info — Return Maya version, scene path, and basic stats
• set_selection — Set the active Maya selection
• group_objects — Group a list of objects under a new group node
• parent_object — Set or clear the parent of an object
• select_by_type — Select all objects of a given Maya type
• duplicate_object — Duplicate an object in the Maya scene
• freeze_transforms — Freeze the transforms of an object
• center_pivot — Center the pivot point of an object to its bounding box center
• get_bounding_box — Query the world-space bounding box of an object
• set_visibility — Show or hide an object
• lock_object — Lock or unlock the transform attributes of an object
• set_frame_rate — Change the scene's playback frame rate
• list_cameras — List all cameras in the scene
• create_camera — Create a camera transform and shape
• set_camera — Edit camera transform and common shape attributes
• look_through_camera — Switch a model panel to a camera
• create_locator — Create a Maya locator node
• find_by_pattern — Find nodes by Maya wildcard pattern
