For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-modify --input-file args.json
Or pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-modify --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
`gameObjectRefs`	`any`	Yes	Array of GameObjects in opened Prefab or in the active Scene.
`gameObjectDiffs`	`any`	Yes	Each item in the array represents a GameObject modification of the 'gameObjectRefs' at the same index. Usually a GameObject is a container for components. Each component may have fields and properties for modification. If you need to modify components of a GameObject, please use 'gameobject-component-modify' tool. Ignore values that should not be modified. Any unknown or wrong located fields and properties will be ignored. Check the result of this command to see what was changed. The ignored fields and properties will be listed.
