Copy assets at given paths and store them at new paths. Does AssetDatabase.Refresh() at the end. Use 'assets-find' tool to find assets before copying.
sourcePaths — paths of the assets to copy.destinationPaths — paths to store the copied assets (must match sourcePaths length).Each source/destination pair is copied in order. Per-pair errors are accumulated in the response instead of throwing, so a single bad pair does not abort the whole batch.
unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-copy --input '{
"sourcePaths": "string_value",
"destinationPaths": "string_value"
}'
For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-copy --input-file args.jsonOr pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-copy --input-file - <<'EOF' {"param": "value"} EOF
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.

Modify an asset file in the project. Use 'assets-get-data' first to inspect the asset structure before modifying. Not allowed to modify asset files in the 'Packages/' folder — modify them in 'Assets/'. Three modification surfaces are available (content, pathPatches, jsonPatch) — see the skill body for details.
Modify a specific Component on a GameObject in opened Prefab or in a Scene. Allows direct modification of component fields and properties without wrapping in GameObject structure. Use 'gameobject-component-get' first to inspect the component structure before modifying. Three modification surfaces are available (componentDiff, pathPatches, jsonPatch) — see the skill body for details.
Modify a Unity `UnityEngine.Object`'s serializable fields/properties. Three modification surfaces are available (`objectDiff`, `pathPatches`, `jsonPatch`) — see the skill body. Use 'object-get-data' first to inspect the object structure.
Create a new folder under a parent folder inside 'Assets/'. The parent path must start with 'Assets/' and every intermediate folder in it must already exist. Refreshes the AssetDatabase at the end and returns the GUID(s) of the created folder(s).
Delete the assets at the given project paths. Refreshes the AssetDatabase at the end. Use 'assets-find' to locate the assets first.
Search the built-in assets of the Unity Editor (located at Resources/unity_builtin_extra). Filters by name and/or type; built-in assets have no GUID so GUID-based lookups are not supported.
