name: scene-list-opened
description: List every scene currently opened in the Unity Editor as a shallow snapshot (name, path, build flags). Use 'scene-get-data' for the deep view of a specific scene.

# Scene / List Opened

Returns the list of currently opened scenes in Unity Editor. Use 'scene-get-data' tool to get detailed information about a specific scene.

## Behavior

Maps `OpenedScenes` through `ToSceneDataShallow()` on the main thread and returns the resulting array. No filtering or pagination — every opened scene is included.

## How to Call

```bash
unity-mcp-cli run-tool scene-list-opened --input '{
  "nothing": "string_value"
}'
```

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