3ds Max Geometry I/O Skill

Validate geometry paths and run host-native import/export operations through pymxs. Tool contracts live in tools.yaml; import/export tools declare affinity: main because they call the 3ds Max file I/O APIs.

Use the validation tool before import to check supported formats and file existence. Use the FBX and OBJ tools for explicit export behavior, including selected-only versus whole-scene export and overwrite handling. Import tools return created node identities, warnings, and recoverable failure details.
