# Tool / Set Enabled State

Enable or disable MCP tools by name. Allows controlling which tools are available for the AI agent.

## Inputs

- `tools` — array of `ToolToggleInput { Name, Enabled }`. Non-empty.
- `includeLogs` (default `false`) — when true, returns per-step operation logs alongside the success map.

## Behavior

Each entry is resolved against the tool manager's exact-name and case-insensitive lookups. Already-correct state short-circuits as success without writing. The plugin's config is saved once at the end iff at least one tool actually changed state.

## How to Call

```bash
unity-mcp-cli run-tool tool-set-enabled-state --input '{
  "tools": "string_value",
  "includeLogs": false
}'
```

> For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
> ```bash
> unity-mcp-cli run-tool tool-set-enabled-state --input-file args.json
> ```
>
> Or pipe via stdin (recommended):
> ```bash
> unity-mcp-cli run-tool tool-set-enabled-state --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 |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| `tools` | `string` | Yes | Array of tools with their desired enabled state. RQL: [ToolToggleInput] |
| `includeLogs` | `boolean` | No | Include operation logs in the result. Default: false |

### Input JSON Schema

  "type": "object",
