WHAT IT DOES

What manage_asset does on GameDevBench MCP

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why manage_asset needs a policy

Without a description, confidence is reduced. However, in game development benchmarking tools, 'manage_asset' most likely performs reversible write operations (creating, updating, organizing assets) rather than irreversible deletion (which would be a separate 'delete_asset' tool). The presence of sibling 'delete_script' and 'export_model' suggests 'manage_asset' handles modification rather than deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'manage_asset' in a game development context typically involves creating, modifying, or organizing game assets.
