Assets Move

Assets / Move

Move the assets at paths in the project. Should be used for asset rename. Does AssetDatabase.Refresh() at the end. Use 'assets-find' tool to find assets before moving.

Inputs

• sourcePaths — paths of the assets to move.
• destinationPaths — target paths (must match sourcePaths length).

Behavior

Each pair is moved independently via AssetDatabase.MoveAsset. Per-pair failures (Unity's MoveAsset returns a non-empty error string) are surfaced in response.Errors; successful moves accumulate into response.MovedPaths.

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-move --input '{
  "sourcePaths": "string_value",
  "destinationPaths": "string_value"
}'

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

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-move --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-move --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.
