build-cli

A build routine for a TypeScript command-line tool called unity-mcp-cli. It compiles the project and can make the command available from any terminal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build the CLI, optionally install a global terminal link, and check that it reports its version.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember the separate install, compile, linking, and verification commands needed after changing the tool.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

build-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Build CLI

Build the unity-mcp-cli TypeScript project and optionally link it globally.

Step 1 — Install Dependencies

cd cli && npm install

Only needed if node_modules/ is missing or package.json changed.

Step 2 — Build TypeScript

cd cli && npm run build

This compiles src/**/*.tsdist/**/*.js via tsc.

cd cli && npm link

This creates a global symlink so unity-mcp-cli is available from any terminal. Only needed once — after that, npm run build alone is sufficient.

Step 4 — Verify

unity-mcp-cli --version

Confirm the CLI is accessible and shows the expected version.

Report

Print the version and confirm success. If any step failed, show the error output.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
