What unity_asset_delete does on Unity MCP Server
AI agents call unity_asset_delete to permanently remove resources in Unity MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why unity_asset_delete is rated Critical
This tool permanently removes assets from a Unity project by sending them to OS trash rather than using Unity's undo system. The explicit note that it cannot be undone via the standard undo mechanism confirms this is a destructive operation that irreversibly deletes data.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description explicitly states it deletes an asset 'to the OS trash' and is 'NOT undoable via unity_undo_last', making it irreversible.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs unity_asset_delete safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Unity MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For unity_asset_delete, this is the rule to start with:
unity_asset_delete is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Unity MCP Server, apply this rule, and every unity_asset_delete call is checked against it from then on.
