Ping

Lightweight readiness probe. Returns the input message or 'pong' if omitted.

Inputs

• `message` (optional) — when present, echoed back verbatim.

Behavior

No I/O, no Unity API calls — pure echo. Ideal for measuring round-trip latency or confirming the MCP transport is alive before invoking a heavier tool.

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-system-tool ping --input '{
  "message": "string_value"
}'

> For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use: > ```bash > unity-mcp-cli run-system-tool ping --input-file args.json > ``` > > Or pipe via stdin (recommended): > ```bash > unity-mcp-cli run-system-tool ping --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.
