What it does

Ping is an agent skill from IvanMurzak/Unity-MCP. Lightweight readiness probe. Returns the input message echoed back, or 'pong' when omitted. Useful for CLI health checks and SignalR connectivity smoke tests.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: AI Skills, MCP Tools, and CLI for Unity Engine. Full AI develop and test loop. Use cli for quick setup. Efficient token usage, advanced tools. Any C method may be turned into a… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve QA and bug reports

Example prompts

  • “/ping”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c8056f. 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

Ping loads about 403 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 130 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~403

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.

description
Lightweight readiness probe. Returns the input `message` echoed back, or `'pong'` when omitted. Useful for CLI health checks and SignalR connectivity smoke tests.

Ping

Lightweight readiness probe. Returns the input message or 'pong' if omitted.

Inputs

  • message (optional) — when present, echoed back verbatim.

Behavior

No I/O, no Unity API calls — pure echo. Ideal for measuring round-trip latency or confirming the MCP transport is alive before invoking a heavier tool.

How to Call

bash
unity-mcp-cli run-system-tool ping --input '{
  "message": "string_value"
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:

bash
unity-mcp-cli run-system-tool ping --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

bash
unity-mcp-cli run-system-tool ping --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.
