Implementation Reference
- src/tools/unity-mcp-tools.ts:380-390 (handler)Handler for the shader_create tool. Validates the 'name' parameter and calls the adapter's createShader method, returning success message with path and GUID.
case 'shader_create': { if (!args.name) { throw new Error('name is required'); } const result = await this.adapter.createShader(args.name, args.content, args.folder); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Shader created successfully:\nPath: ${result.path}\nGUID: ${result.guid}` }] }; - src/tools/unity-mcp-tools.ts:146-162 (schema)Input schema defining parameters for shader_create: name (required), optional content and folder.
