# Gameobject Component Get > Get detailed information about a specific Component on a GameObject. Returns component type, enabled state, and optionally serialized fields and properties. Use this to inspect component data before modifying it. Use 'gameobject-find' tool to get the list of all components on the GameObject. - Skill: `idocohen560/gameobject-component-get` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add idocohen560/gameobject-component-get` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/idocohen560/gameobject-component-get/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Web & Frontend - Author: IdoCohen560 (https://skillmd.com/u/idocohen560) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/idocohen560/gameobject-component-get --- # GameObject / Component / Get ## How to Call ```bash unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-component-get --input '{ "gameObjectRef": "string_value", "componentRef": "string_value", "includeFields": false, "includeProperties": false, "deepSerialization": false }' ``` > For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use: > ```bash > unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-component-get --input-file args.json > ``` > > Or pipe via stdin (recommended): > ```bash > unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-component-get --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. ## Input | Name | Type | Required | Description | |------|------|----------|-------------| | `gameObjectRef` | `any` | Yes | Find GameObject in opened Prefab or in the active Scene. | | `componentRef` | `any` | Yes | Component reference. Used to find a Component at GameObject. | | `includeFields` | `boolean` | No | Include serialized fields of the component. | | `includeProperties` | `boolean` | No | Include serialized properties of the component. | | `deepSerialization` | `boolean` | No | Performs deep serialization including all nested objects. Otherwise, only serializes top-level members. | ### Input JSON Schema ```json { "type": "object", "properties": { "gameObjectRef": { "$ref": "#/$defs/com.IvanMurzak.Unity.MCP.Runtime.Data.GameObjectRef" }, "componentRef": { "$ref": "#/$defs/com.IvanMurzak.Unity.MCP.Runtime.Data.ComponentRef" }, "includeFields": { "type": "boolean" }, "includeProperties": { "type": "boolean" }, "deepSerialization": { "type": "boolean" } }, "$defs": { "System.Type": { "type": "string" }, "com.IvanMurzak.Unity.MCP.Runtime.Data.GameObjectRef": { "type": "object", "properties": { "instanceID": { "type": "integer", "description": "instanceID of the UnityEngine.Object.
