What unity_asset_list does on Unity MCP Server
AI agents call unity_asset_list to retrieve information from Unity MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why unity_asset_list is rated Low
This tool performs a query/retrieval operation on existing project assets. It has no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute code. The filtering parameters are search criteria, not mutation operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent listing assets cannot cause damage to the project or system. Classified as Read with high confidence.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List assets in the project' with filtering options (path, type, search term). The verb 'list' and lack of any modification language indicate a read-only operation that retrieves information without side effects.

The rule that runs unity_asset_list 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_list, this is the rule to start with:
unity_asset_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Unity MCP Server, apply this rule, and every unity_asset_list call is checked against it from then on.
