feat(sprite): add manage_sprite for 2D sprite sheet animation

[BurakErdemci]

Description

The package has no 2D sprite animation support today. Slicing a sheet, turning the frames
into AnimationClips and wiring those into an AnimatorController are three separate pieces
of manual editor work, and an agent driving Unity over MCP cannot do any of them.

manage_sprite adds them as five actions in the existing animation group. The design
question worth stating up front is what the tool refuses to guess: the grid. A sheet's
column count is not recoverable from the file, so get_info returns the texture's
dimensions and the sheet itself as image_base64, and the caller decides. Everything
after that is mechanical.

The other thing worth stating is why this branch carries fix commits for code it also
introduces. The tool was written before it had a single test that ran against Unity. The
first real EditMode run turned 9 of 37 cases red, and the failures were not edge cases —
one of them meant the tool had never once attached an Animator to a scene object. Rather
than fold that history away, the commits keep it: what the tool did, what measuring it
showed, and what each fix bought.

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
• Documentation update
• Refactoring (no functional changes)
• Test update

Changes Made

New tool — MCPForUnity/Editor/Tools/Sprite2D/ (7 files) and
Server/src/services/tools/manage_sprite.py. Actions: get_info, slice_sheet,
setup_clips, setup_controller, full_setup. It uses the existing helpers
(AssetPathUtility, ErrorResponse) and adds no dependency.

Clip names shape the controller, so a caller does not describe the state machine twice.
Locomotion names collapse into a Speed-driven 1D blend tree, combat and object names each
get a trigger, an idle clip becomes the default state, and the same names decide whether a
clip loops. Names are matched by word rather than by substring — the letters of hit sit
inside white, and run inside grunt.

Three Unity behaviours the implementation had to be built around. Each was settled by
running it on 6000.4.4f1, not by reading the API:

• A Default-type import rescales a non-power-of-two sheet: a 96px-wide sheet reads back
  as 128px. A grid measured there puts the trailing frames outside the real texture, where
  Unity discards them without an error — six columns produced four sprites of 21px and
  reported success. The texture is therefore converted to Sprite before it is measured,
  and the arguments that need no texture are validated before that conversion, so a refused
  request leaves the importer as it found it.
• Assigning spritesheet to an importer that is already Multiple does not mark it dirty,
  so SaveAndReimport restores the previously serialised grid. Slicing a sheet a second
  time silently kept the first grid until EditorUtility.SetDirty was added.
• GetComponent<T>() ?? AddComponent<T>() compares references and so never sees Unity's
  overloaded ==. AddComponent was never reached and the next line threw
  MissingComponentException, which means add_to_scene had never worked at all. It now
  checks with ==, and records the change through Undo and EditorUtility.SetDirty the
  way controller_assign does.

Nothing destructive happens before the replacement is known to be good. setup_controller
used to delete the existing controller and only then load the replacement clips, so a
rebuild that could not succeed left the caller with no controller and a generic error.
setup_clips used to delete whatever .anim sat at the composed path; it now honours the
overwrite flag the tool surface already exposed, matching setup_controller.

Refusals are refusals, not exceptions. rows: 0, a clip name containing a path
separator, a controller_path containing .., a clips entry that is not an object, and
a grid that does not fit inside the texture each used to throw or silently do the wrong
thing. Each now returns a message naming the problem.

full_setup is the first-failure sequence it documents. It gates every step on both
the returned type and the diagnostics, normalises controller_path once so the builder,
the scene step and the response all name the same asset, counts the clips that exist rather
than the ones that were requested, and reports failure when an attachment it was asked for
did not happen.

Compatibility / Package Source

• Unity version(s) tested: 6000.4.4f1
• Package source used: file: (TestProjects/UnityMCPTests → file:../../../MCPForUnity)
• Resolved commit hash from Packages/packages-lock.json: n/a (local file: source)

Testing/Screenshots/Recordings

• Python tests (cd Server && uv run pytest tests/ -v) — 1389 passed, 3 skipped
• Unity EditMode tests — 1252 total, 1186 passed, 0 failed, 66 skipped
• Unity PlayMode tests
• Package import/compile check — 0 compile errors

75 new EditMode cases and 14 new Python cases. The EditMode tests write a real PNG into
the project and import it, then assert on the sprite sub-assets and the .anim/.controller
files that end up on disk rather than on the success flag the tool returns. That distinction
is the point: both import bugs above reported success while losing frames.

Every guard in this PR was checked by removing it and re-running, so the tests are known to
fail for the reason they are named after. A sample of those runs:

guard removed	cases that turned red
sprite conversion before measuring	22
importer dirty flag	1 — the reslice case alone
word matching for clip names	2
rows guard	1
grid-fits-in-texture check	1
composed-path checks (output_dir, clip name, controller_path)	1 each
refused-path guard, per action	1 each (5 actions)
negative start_frame guard	1
frame ceiling	1
camelCase tokenizing	1
acronym tokenizing	2
inline-image ceiling	1 in each direction

Three cases survive every removal and are not offered as evidence: the
already-converted-texture case, which pins the branch the conversion skips, the
natural-ordering case, and the heroATTACK half of the acronym test — that spelling
already worked before the fix, because the break comes from the lowercase letter in front
of the capital run. It is kept as a parity tripwire and named here so it is not read as
evidence for a fix it does not exercise.

The same treatment found a false green in the Python tests: three cases asserted only
success is False, and with the validation removed the call reached an absent Unity and
failed there instead — green, measuring nothing. They now assert on the message.

On the 66 skipped: that number is unchanged from before this branch and none of them
are sprite or animation tests.

Documentation Updates

• I have added/removed/modified tools or resources
• If yes, I have updated all documentation files using:
  • The LLM prompt at tools/UPDATE_DOCS_PROMPT.md (recommended)
  • Manual review of the generated changes

tools/generate_docs_reference.py was run and --check reports the reference up to date.
The <!-- examples:start --> block on the new page is filled in by hand — it is the part
the parameter table cannot carry, namely that the grid has to come from the caller and that
clip names, not extra parameters, decide the controller's shape. I did not find another
tool page with that block filled, so say the word if you would rather it stayed empty for
consistency.

Review history

Three review rounds and one independent audit. Collapsed below, because it is long and
none of it is needed to review the code - but it is kept rather than squashed, since the
useful part is not that findings were fixed, it is what the pattern of them showed.

The short version. CodeRabbit raised 13 findings across two rounds; all were confirmed
against the code and fixed, except one where I implemented the bounded form rather than
the paged one and said why. Between rounds I ran an independent audit over the whole
change - four lenses in disposable worktrees plus a verification round over the fix diff -
and it found more, all of the same shape: the fixes closed the path that was pointed at,
not the class it belonged to. A parameter guard covered the two parameters named in the
review and left six others with the same defect. A corrected docs sentence was left
standing in a code comment and a test comment. Five tests passed against code that did not
do what their name promised, confirmed by reverting each guard and watching them stay
green.

Every guard added across all of it was mutation-tested: the test is only evidence if
reverting what it covers turns it red, and in five cases it did not until it was rewritten.

Round 1 — eight findings, plus three the fixes introduced

CodeRabbit's review is addressed in the commits after 6653cc0, across two rounds. All eight findings
were confirmed against the code and fixed; the eighth took two rounds and is described at
the end. One of them was a compile break rather than a style point and is worth naming
first:
AssetDatabase.AssetPathExists is Unity 2023.1+, package.json declares 2021.3, and
TestProjects/UnityMCPTests is pinned to 2021.3.45f2 — so this would have failed the
matrix. It now uses AssetDatabase.GetMainAssetTypeAtPath, which answers the same
question on every supported version and is what ManageAsset.cs already uses. No shim:
one API spans the whole range, and a shim whose two branches behave identically is a
version conditional with nothing to condition on. Happy to convert it if you prefer every
such call to route through one place.

Since the whole set of APIs used here had never been checked against the floor, all of
them were: 88 distinct Unity APIs, each probed against the 2021.3 Scripting API docs, with
the four undocumented animation APIs settled from the 2021.3 branch of UnityCsReference
instead. None of the rest is above the floor. The probe was calibrated on the known-bad
case first — AssetPathExists returns 404 at 2021.3 and 200 at 2023.1 — so the clean
result comes from a method that was shown to detect the failure it was looking for.

The other confirmed findings: refused paths reaching an AssetDatabase call as null in
five places; a negative start_frame silently selecting the wrong frames, because
Enumerable.Skip ignores a negative count; no ceiling on the frame count before
SpriteMetaData is allocated; and camelCase clip names losing their category, because
Detect lowercased the name before the tokenizer's char.IsUpper test could ever be
true.

Fixing those turned up three more, all of them inside the fixes rather than in the
original code:

• The 4 MB inline-image ceiling was applied to the file on disk, but what travels in the
  response is base64 — four characters per three bytes. Measured: a 3,666,585-byte source
  produced a 4,888,802-byte payload, past a limit that was supposed to stop it. The
  ceiling now covers the encoded length.
• The camelCase fix closed the reported spelling, not the class. heroXMLAttack still
  built a controller with no parameters at all, because nothing split the acronym from the
  word after it. The tokenizer now breaks at the end of a capital run.
• Application.dataPath.Replace("/Assets", "") removes every occurrence, so a project
  living under a directory like /work/AssetsLab had the wrong segment cut out and
  get_info silently returned no image. It now uses Directory.GetParent. Swept the
  repository for the same pattern: this was the only occurrence, and every other project-root
  derivation already uses Path.GetDirectoryName or Path.Combine(dataPath, "..").

On paging get_info — the one finding that took two rounds. I first bounded both fields
by size rather than paging them, and pushed back on paging the image: that payload exists
so one response carries one whole image a vision-capable caller can look at, and an image
split across next_cursor is not an image any client reassembles, so paging it would
remove the capability rather than bound it. That part held.

The list was the half I had not defended, and the objection was right. slice_sheet
refuses above 4096 frames, but that is the writing end; get_info reads what is already
on the asset, so a sheet sliced by hand in the Sprite Editor was never bounded by it.
slices is now paged: slice_count reports the total, one page comes back, and
next_cursor appears only while entries remain. The default page of 512 clears any grid a
caller would slice through this tool, so an ordinary call gets one page and never meets
paging, and page_size is capped so it cannot be used to ask for the unbounded result
again.

Both bounds refuse rather than clamp. A negative cursor especially: Enumerable.Skip
yields the whole sequence for a negative count, so without the guard the call would return
every slice and report success — the same trap as the start_frame finding above.

One deliberate change to the image fields, which CodeRabbit had said could stay as they
were: the image is returned on the first page only, with image_omitted_reason naming the
cause. Re-sending a 4 MB payload with every page would multiply by the page count exactly
what the page size is there to cap, and the picture does not change between pages.

Each of the seven guards added here was reverted in turn to confirm the tests discriminate;
all seven failed, each taking down exactly the intended tests.

Round 2 and the audit — five findings, and the class sweep they triggered

CodeRabbit's re-review of the paging commit raised four more, all confirmed and all fixed:
pagination values were read with ToObject<int>, which throws past Int32 and rounds a
fractional value (measured: page_size: 2147483648 raised an uncaught OverflowException,
page_size: 2.7 silently returned three slices); get_info put an absolute path and an
exception message into a response field; one test indexed the response object before
reading next_cursor, which throws rather than asserts if the property is ever omitted;
and a docs sentence claimed a sheet sliced through this tool always fits one page, which
is untrue between 513 and 4096 frames.

Before pushing those, I ran an independent audit over the whole change - four lenses in
four disposable worktrees, plus a verification round over the fix diff. It found things I
had missed, and the pattern is worth stating plainly because it is the same one both
review rounds showed:

The parameter fix closed one path, not the class. page_size and cursor were
guarded; every other numeric parameter was not. Measured in Unity by sending the values
through the live tool:

cols / rows / frame_width / frame_height = 2147483648  -> uncaught OverflowException
start_frame = 2147483648                               -> uncaught OverflowException
start_frame = 2.7                                      -> rounded to 3, clip written, success
fps = NaN                                              -> clip written with NaN keyframe times
loop = "maybe"                                         -> uncaught FormatException

Nothing between ManageSprite.HandleCommand and the bridge catches, so each overflow left
the tool as a transport failure rather than a named refusal. The reader now lives in
SpriteParams rather than private to one file, because keeping it local is precisely how
the first version closed one path and left the rest open. Reachability, since it differs
per parameter: FastMCP coerces or refuses the top-level values, so only an out-of-range
integer arrives from a real caller there - Python integers have no ceiling. The nested
clips scalars sit in an untyped array and reach C# unchanged, which is why fps and
loop mattered.

Five tests passed against code that did not do what their name promised. Each was
confirmed by applying the mutation before the test was changed. SliceSheet_GridProduct ThatOverflowsInt_IsStillRefused asserted only that the call failed - with the (long)
cast removed, the wrapped product slipped past the bounds check and a different guard
refused the request, keeping the test green. GetInfo_AfterSlicing_ReportsEverySlice
asserted only slice_count, which is computed independently of the projected list;
emptying slices entirely left it green. Four tests named for returning an error asserted
only success == false, which Newtonsoft also reads from an absent field.

And the same wrong sentence was in three places. The docs claim corrected above was
still standing in a code comment and a test comment. Per-path again.

The audit terminated at zero blockers after one verification round. That round's own
finding is included: it caught the rationale in one of these fixes being wrong - I had
written that FastMCP refuses a non-boolean when it in fact coerces one - and an
incomplete guard I had just added. Both are corrected in b5ca3c01.

Measured after all of it: ManageSpriteTests 100/100 in EditMode, Python 1391 passed /
3 skipped, ruff --select E701,E702 clean, docs --check clean. Every guard added across
both rounds was mutation-tested: reverting the int-range check turns exactly the six
overflow tests red, the boolean check exactly the loop test, and so on for the rest.

Two things the audit reported and I deliberately did not change, in case you disagree.
FastMCP's non-strict coercion (overwrite: "yes" becomes true, cols: "4" becomes 4)
is uniform across all the tools in this server, so making this one strict would make it
the odd one out - that reads like a maintainer decision rather than a PR-level one. And
the slices page bounds are stated in two places, the C# constants that enforce them and
the Python annotation that publishes them into the generated reference; both now name the
other rather than one being deleted, since callers need the numbers and the runtime needs
to enforce them.

Additional Notes

On the Unity version. I could only test on 6000.4.4f1, which is not in
tools/unity-versions.json; none of the four matrix versions are installed on this
machine. tools/check-unity-versions.sh skips all four and still exits 0, so please do not
read a local green there as coverage — CI is the real check for the matrix. The change uses
no version-conditional code and no #if UNITY_* blocks.

Two things I left open on purpose, both recorded rather than discovered late:

1. full_setup names the step that failed but does not enumerate what earlier steps already
   wrote. Slicing mutates the importer, and clips are written one at a time, so a failure in
   step 3 leaves the first two steps' work in place. Making that transactional is a larger
   design change than this PR should carry; disclosing an inventory in the response would be
   the cheaper half if you would like it.
2. A frame wider than the texture is classified SLICE_EMPTY rather than the new
   SLICE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS. The frame count really is zero in that case and the message already
   names the frame size as a cause, so I left the existing behaviour and its test alone.

One thing I deliberately did not port. An earlier version of this tool carried a sixth
action for adding keyframe animation to any GameObject. manage_animation already covers it
through clip_create, clip_add_curve and clip_set_curve, so a second entry point for the
same work would grow this PR without adding a capability. It is not here.

Two comments on the image payload, since both are decisions a reader would otherwise
have to reverse-engineer. The 4 MB figure is a budget for what one tool response can carry
without the transport or the model's context becoming the limiting factor — it is not a
measured protocol boundary, and the code says so. And the ceiling is duplicated by a
fixture assertion in ManageSpriteTests; the coupling is named in a comment so that moving
the limit fails those assertions loudly instead of leaving a stale message behind.

A note on manage_sprite's error shape. The C# side returns failures as ErrorResponse
(error), while the Python-side argument checks return message. Both shapes already exist
in the codebase and Server/src/services/tools/__init__.py reads either, so I matched what
each layer already does rather than converting 26 call sites. Happy to unify if you would
prefer one.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ae9f5

The new sprite-sheet workflow may still accept certain incomplete but in-bounds grids and save incomplete sprite metadata while reporting success, creating incorrect generated sprites for affected assets. Merge should wait for this bounded correctness issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted; the remaining test comments are minor follow-up items.

Reject grids that do not cover the texture exactly.

The current check rejects only grids that exceed texture bounds. It accepts incomplete grids. For example, a 100-pixel texture with cols=6 derives frameW=16, writes six sprites, and silently omits four pixels. The same issue occurs when callers provide inconsistent cols and frame_width. This overwrites the importer metadata with an incomplete sheet.

Require cols * frameW == texW and rows * frameH == texH before allocating metadata. Add EditMode tests for non-divisible dimensions and inconsistent supplied dimensions.

Proposed validation change

 if (frameW <= 0 || frameH <= 0
-    || (long)cols * frameW > texW || (long)rows * frameH > texH)
+    || (long)cols * frameW != texW || (long)rows * frameH != texH)
 {

Replying here rather than in a thread, because this one was posted in the review body as an outside diff range comment and has no inline thread to answer in. Worth flagging on its own: it was the highest-severity finding of the review and it is the only one that does not show up in the pull request's review-comment list, so a check that enumerates threads misses it entirely. That is how I missed it on the first pass.

Reject grids that do not cover the texture exactly. ... a 100-pixel texture with cols=6 derives frameW=16, writes six sprites, and silently omits four pixels.

Confirmed, and measured end to end on 6000.4.4f1 before changing anything - a 100x16 sheet, cols: 6:

success = true    sprites = 6    covered = 96/100 px    diagnostics = []

Six sprites, four pixels dropped, and not a single diagnostic. The caller had no way to learn a strip of the sheet had been ignored. Fixed in ae9f537b.

One deliberate difference from the suggested change. The proposed != makes exact coverage mandatory. I went with a warning that leaves the call successful, because a remainder is not always a mistake:

• Sheets with a trailing margin or a separator column are ordinary, and cols is then correct while the product is deliberately short of the texture.
• A caller who passes frame_width explicitly may want a sub-region on purpose.
• Unity's own Sprite Editor grid slicing does not require exact coverage either.

Requiring it would refuse all of those, and they are the common case rather than the edge one. The defect is the silence, not the behaviour - so SLICE_GRID_REMAINDER now names the covered area, the texture size and the leftover on each axis, and slice_sheet still succeeds. A caller that wants strictness can read the diagnostic and decide; a caller with a margin keeps working.

If you would rather have the hard refusal, say so and I will switch it - it is a two-line change and the tests are already in place for both directions. My reasoning is that a refusal removes a legitimate use, while a warning removes only the silence.

Pinned in both directions, because a warning that fires on every slice looks exactly like one that fires on the right slices. SliceSheet_GridThatDoesNotCoverTheTexture_SucceedsButSaysSo covers the 100/6 case; SliceSheet_GridThatCoversTheTextureExactly_WarnsAboutNothing covers a 96/6 grid. Reverting the condition turns the first red; forcing it always-true turns the second red. ManageSpriteTests is 102/102.

Assert the reported remainder values.

The test checks the warning code and the texture width, but not the reported coverage or leftover pixels. A regression could report incorrect values and still pass. Assert 96x16, 4px on the right, and 0px at the bottom, or inspect detail.uncovered_width and detail.uncovered_height.
