AI agents call editor_get_world_outliner to retrieve information from Unreal without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves information about actors and their properties in the current Unreal Engine world.
