Get serialized data for a Unity `UnityEngine.Object` — all serializable fields and properties. Supports token-saving path-scoped reads via `paths` or `viewQuery`. Pair with 'object-modify' when you need to write back.

tessl review fix ./Unity-MCP-Plugin/.claude/skills/object-get-data/SKILL.mdGet data of the specified Unity Object. Returns serialized data of the object including its properties and fields. If need to modify the data use 'object-modify' tool.
Supply paths (a list of paths) to read only the listed fields/elements via Reflector.TryReadAt, or viewQuery (a ViewQuery) to navigate to a subtree and/or filter by name regex / max depth / type via Reflector.View. These two parameters are mutually exclusive — supply at most one. When neither is supplied the full object is serialized (backwards compatible).
fieldName, nested/field, arrayField/[i], dictField/[key]. Leading #/ is stripped.
unity-mcp-cli run-tool object-get-data --input '{
"objectRef": "string_value",
"paths": "string_value",
"viewQuery": "string_value"
}'For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool object-get-data --input-file args.jsonOr pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool object-get-data --input-file - <<'EOF' {"param": "value"} EOF
If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
objectRef | any | Yes | Reference to UnityEngine.Object instance. It could be GameObject, Component, Asset, etc. Anything extended from UnityEngine.Object. |
paths | any | No | Optional. List of paths to read individually via Reflector.TryReadAt. Each path may target a different depth. Path syntax: 'fieldName', 'nested/field', 'arrayField/[i]', 'dictField/[key]'. Mutually exclusive with 'viewQuery'. |
viewQuery | any | No | Optional. View-query filter routed through Reflector.View — combines a starting Path, a case-insensitive NamePattern regex, MaxDepth, and an optional TypeFilter. Mutually exclusive with 'paths'. |
