WHAT IT DOES

What manage_asset does on Unreal Mcp Ue4

`params`	object	—	Parameters for the selected manage_asset action. Supported actions: manage_asset.create_folder, manage_asset.delete, manage_asset.delete_folder, manage_asset.du

manage_asset Rate-limited

manage_asset stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
