SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires unity-mcp-cli.

What problem does it solve? Locating Unity's built-in editor assets (default shaders, materials, fonts, sprites) is difficult because they live inside the internal Resources/unity_builtin_extra bundle rather than the project's Assets folder, and they cannot be found by GUID. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Built-in Asset Search: Query Unity's built-in resources by asset name, asset type, or both. - Result Limiting: Control the maximum number of returned assets with the maxResults parameter to avoid oversized responses. - Structured References: Receive AssetObjectRef results containing instanceID, assetType, assetPath, and assetGuid for use in follow-up editor operations. - Use Case: While building a custom editor tool, you need Unity's default Diffuse shader or the built-in Arial font. Run the search with a name filter to retrieve the exact built-in asset reference without browsing hidden editor resources manually. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to find the built-in Unity asset named Default-Material using the assets-find-built-in tool with a maxResults limit of 10.

Frequently Asked Questions about assets-find-built-in

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find Unity built-in assets like default shaders or materials?▼

Run the assets-find-built-in tool through unity-mcp-cli with a name or type filter, for example searching for Default-Material. It queries Resources/unity_builtin_extra and returns matching asset references with instanceID and type information.

What tool searches Unity's unity_builtin_extra resources?▼

The assets-find-built-in tool, invoked via unity-mcp-cli run-tool, searches the built-in resources bundle. It accepts optional name, type, and maxResults parameters to narrow the search.

Can I look up Unity built-in assets by GUID?▼

No. Built-in assets do not have GUIDs, so GUID-based lookup is not supported. You must search by asset name or type, and identify results using their instanceID and assetPath instead.

Why is unity-mcp-cli not found when running the search?▼

The CLI is not installed or not on your PATH. Install it globally with npm install -g unity-mcp-cli, or prefix commands with npx unity-mcp-cli to run it without a global installation.

How do I limit the number of assets returned by the search?▼

Set the maxResults integer parameter in the input JSON. When the number of matching assets exceeds this limit, the result list is truncated to the specified count.
