# unity_search_by_component Find all GameObjects in the scene that have a specific component type. Returns their paths and instance IDs. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `unity_search_by_component`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-search-by-component ## Facts - Tool: `unity_search_by_component` - Server: Unity MCP Server (`anklebreaker-studio/unity-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/AnkleBreaker-Studio/unity-mcp-server - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "unity_search_by_component", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why unity_search_by_component is rated Low This is a pure read operation that queries scene data and returns results. It has no side effects—it neither modifies game objects, executes scripts, deletes assets, nor triggers external operations. The search scope is limited to existing scene components, making blast radius minimal even if misused by an AI agent. From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs a search/query operation ('Find all GameObjects in the scene that have a specific component type') and returns data ('paths and instance IDs') with no modification, deletion, or execution of code." ## Use case AI agents call unity_search_by_component 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Unity MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "unity_search_by_component": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Unity MCP Server (337) - `unity_amplify_remove_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-amplify-remove-node.md - `unity_animation_remove_curve` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-animation-remove-curve.md - `unity_animation_remove_event` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-animation-remove-event.md - `unity_animation_remove_keyframe` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-animation-remove-keyframe.md - `unity_animation_remove_layer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-animation-remove-layer.md - `unity_animation_remove_parameter` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-animation-remove-parameter.md - `unity_animation_remove_state` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-animation-remove-state.md - `unity_animation_remove_transition` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-animation-remove-transition.md - `unity_asset_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-asset-delete.md - `unity_component_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-component-remove.md - `unity_console_clear` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-console-clear.md - `unity_editorprefs_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-editorprefs-delete.md - `unity_gameobject_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-gameobject-delete.md - `unity_input_remove_action` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-input-remove-action.md - `unity_input_remove_map` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-input-remove-map.md - `unity_navmesh_clear` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-navmesh-clear.md - `unity_packages_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-packages-remove.md - `unity_playerprefs_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-playerprefs-delete.md - `unity_playerprefs_delete_all` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-playerprefs-delete-all.md - `unity_prefab_remove_component` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-prefab-remove-component.md - `unity_prefab_remove_gameobject` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-prefab-remove-gameobject.md - `unity_probuilder_delete_faces` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-probuilder-delete-faces.md - `unity_scene_new` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-scene-new.md - `unity_shadergraph_remove_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-shadergraph-remove-node.md - `unity_spriteatlas_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-spriteatlas-delete.md - `unity_terrain_clear_detail` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-terrain-clear-detail.md - `unity_terrain_clear_trees` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-terrain-clear-trees.md - `unity_terrain_remove_layer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-terrain-remove-layer.md - `unity_terrain_remove_tree_prototype` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-terrain-remove-tree-prototype.md - `unity_undo_clear` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server/unity-undo-clear.md - …and 307 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/anklebreaker-studio-unity-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
