What unity_sceneview_set_camera does on Unity MCP Server
AI agents invoke unity_sceneview_set_camera to trigger actions in Unity MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why unity_sceneview_set_camera is rated High
This tool triggers external operations within the Unity Editor by manipulating the Scene View camera state (pivot, rotation, zoom, orthographic mode). It's not a simple data read, nor does it create/modify persistent data; rather it executes UI/viewport control actions within the editor environment. Misuse could disorient or disrupt the editor workflow but has limited blast radius on actual project data.
