Assets / Find (Built-in)
Search the built-in assets of the Unity Editor located in the built-in resources: Resources/unity_builtin_extra. Doesn't support GUIDs since built-in assets do not have them.
Inputs
name (optional) — case-insensitive name fragment. Underscores, hyphens, spaces, and periods delimit search words so partial-word matching works.type (optional) — restrict results to assets assignable to this type (e.g. UnityEngine.Texture2D).maxResults — cap on returned list size (default 10).
Ranking
Results are sorted by descending match quality: exact match → substring match → all-words match → partial-words match. Within a rank, results are sorted alphabetically by filename for stable ordering.
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 instead.
Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.
