What it does
Matlab Read Medical Data is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Read, write, and manipulate medical imaging data (DICOM, NIfTI, NRRD) in MATLAB. Covers Image Processing Toolbox functions (dicomreadVolume, niftiread, dicomContours, dicomanon) and Medical Imaging Toolbox enhanced APIs (medicalVolume, medicalImage, medicalref3d, extractSlice, updateOrientation). Use when reading medical files, listing DICOM series, extracting spatial referencing, changing orientation, working with RT structures, or anonymizing DICOM data. Some features require Medical Imaging Toolbox — see skill…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/dicom-anonymization.md` and `references/dicom-rt-workflows.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Clinical and healthcare research. The repository describes itself as: The MATLAB Agentic Toolkit brings proven MATLAB capabilities to AI agents, making engineering and scientific workflows agent-ready.
When your agent uses it
- Reading medical files
- Listing DICOM series
- Extracting spatial referencing
- Changing orientation
Example prompts
- “/matlab-read-medical-data”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Read DICOM folder
- Read NIfTI file
- List DICOM series and read one
- Extract slice / change orientation (Requires Medical Imaging Toolbox)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 69e71df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are matlab).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Matlab Read Medical Data loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 661 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 661 words (~2,244 tokens).
“Read, write, and manipulate medical imaging data in MATLAB. This skill covers both Image Processing Toolbox (IPT) functions and Medical Imaging Toolbox (MIT) enhanced APIs.”
