Assets / Find (Built-in)

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-find-built-in --input '{
  "name": "string_value",
  "type": "string_value",
  "maxResults": 0
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-find-built-in --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-find-built-in --input-file - <<'EOF'
{"param": "value"}
EOF

Troubleshooting

If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead. Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.

Input

| Name | Type | Required | Description | |------|------|----------|-------------| | name | string | No | The name of the asset to filter by. | | type | any | No | The type of the asset to filter by. | | maxResults | integer | No | Maximum number of assets to return. If the number of found assets exceeds this limit, the result will be truncated. |
