({ type }) => { return wss.call('assets:list', type); } - src/tools/asset.ts:34-36 (schema)Input schema for the list_assets tool: optional 'type' parameter enum for filtering by asset type.
{ type: z.enum(['css', 'cubemap', 'folder', 'font', 'html', 'json', 'material', 'render', 'script', 'shader', 'template', 'text', 'texture']).optional().describe('The type of assets to list. If not specified, all assets will be listed.') }, - src/tools/asset.ts:31-40 (registration)MCP tool registration block for 'list_assets', defining name, description, schema, and handler.
mcp.tool( 'list_assets', 'List all assets with the option to filter by type', { type: z.enum(['css', 'cubemap', 'folder', 'font', 'html', 'json', 'material', 'render', 'script', 'shader', 'template', 'text', 'texture']).optional().describe('The type of assets to list. If not specified, all assets will be listed.') }, ({ type }) => { return wss.call('assets:list', type); } ); - src/server.ts:79-79 (registration)Calls registerAsset(mcp, wss) which invokes the tool registrations including list_assets.
registerAsset(mcp, wss); - extension/main.js:432-438 (helper)Backend implementation of the 'assets:list' WebSocket method, listing and filtering assets via PlayCanvas API, returning their JSON representations.
wsc.method('assets:list', (type) => { let assets = api.assets.list(); if (type) { assets = assets.filter((asset) => asset.get('type') === type); } log('Listed assets'); return { data: assets.map((asset) => asset.json()) };
