What it does

Assets Refresh is an agent skill from IvanMurzak/Unity-MCP. Refresh the Unity AssetDatabase. Use after files were added or updated outside of the Unity API, or to force script recompilation when a '.cs' file changed. Returns a processing/success response and waits for compilation when triggered.

Requirements

Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 84319d7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npm
- npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Assets Refresh loads about 594 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 179 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~594

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: assets-refresh
description: Refresh the Unity AssetDatabase. Use after files were added or updated outside of the Unity API, or to force script recompilation when a '.cs' file changed. Returns a processing/success response and waits for compilation when triggered.

Assets / Refresh

Refreshes the AssetDatabase. Use it if any file was added or updated in the project outside of Unity API. Use it if need to force scripts recompilation when '.cs' file changed.

Inputs

options — ImportAssetOptions flag (default ForceSynchronousImport).
requestId — required for processing-mode responses; the tool returns Processing immediately and delivers a follow-up completion when compilation finishes.

Behavior

Runs AssetDatabase.Refresh(options). If EditorApplication.isCompiling is true after the refresh, schedules a post-compilation notification and returns a Processing response. If compilation already failed (EditorUtility.scriptCompilationFailed), returns Success with the compilation error details. Otherwise returns a plain Success.

How to Call

bash

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-refresh --input '{
  "options": "string_value"
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
bash
unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-refresh --input-file args.json
Or pipe via stdin (recommended):
bash
unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-refresh --input-file - <<'EOF'
{"param": "value"}
EOF

Troubleshooting

If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead. Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.
