Package Remove

---
name: package-remove
description: "Remove (uninstall) a package from the Unity project. This removes the package from the project's manifest.json and triggers package resolution. Note: Built-in packages and packages that are dependencies of other installed packages cannot be removed. Note: Package removal may trigger a domain reload. The result will be sent after the reload completes. Use 'package-list' tool to list installed packages first."

unity-mcp-cli run-tool package-remove --input '{
  "packageId": "string_value"

> {"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.
