unity_build

Start building a Unity project for a specified target platform, outputting to a chosen path, with optional scenes and development mode.

Instructions

Start a build of the Unity project for a target platform.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
targetYesBuild target platform
outputPathYesOutput path for the build
scenesNoScene paths to include (default: scenes in build settings)
developmentBuildNoEnable development build (default: false)
portNoTarget Unity instance port for parallel-safe routing. Get this from unity_select_instance. When working with multiple Unity instances, ALWAYS include this parameter.
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so description must carry the burden. It describes the build start action, but lacks details on behavior like blocking vs async, success/failure signals, or impact on editor state. Adequate but not comprehensive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the core action. No unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema, the description does not mention return values or build result handling. For a build tool, this is a notable gap. Adequate for a simple build trigger but not complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the port parameter's purpose and prerequisite, and the scenes parameter default behavior, which goes beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it starts a build for a target platform. It distinguishes from sibling tools by being the only build initiation tool among many scene/asset/editor tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives basic guidance but does not mention when not to use it or alternatives. The port parameter description mentions a prerequisite (unity_select_instance), but no explicit exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
