# Unity Cloud Management Skill

Monitor, analyze, and manage Unity Cloud services and Unity Gaming Services.

## MANDATORY: Discovery-First Pattern

**Always discover project structure and enabled services before querying specific endpoints.**

### Phase 1: Discovery

```bash
#!/bin/bash
UNITY_API="https://services.api.unity.com"
AUTH="Authorization: Basic ${UNITY_API_KEY}"

echo "=== Unity Organization & Projects ==="
curl -s -H "$AUTH" "$UNITY_API/api/orgs" | \
  jq -r '.[] | "\(.name) (ID: \(.id)) | Tier: \(.tier)"'

echo ""
echo "=== Project List ==="
curl -s -H "$AUTH" "$UNITY_API/api/orgs/${UNITY_ORG_ID}/projects" | \
  jq -r '.[] | "\(.name) | ID: \(.id) | Created: \(.created_at)"'

echo ""
echo "=== Enabled Services ==="
curl -s -H "$AUTH" \
  "$UNITY_API/api/orgs/${UNITY_ORG_ID}/projects/${UNITY_PROJECT_ID}/services" | \
  jq -r '.[] | "\(.name): \(.enabled)"'

echo ""
echo "=== Build Targets ==="
curl -s -H "$AUTH" \
  "https://build-api.cloud.unity3d.com/api/v1/orgs/${UNITY_ORG_ID}/projects/${UNITY_PROJECT_ID}/buildtargets" | \
  jq -r '.[] | "\(.name) | Platform: \(.platform) | Enabled: \(.enabled)"'
```

**Phase 1 outputs:** Organization info, project list, enabled services, build targets

### Phase 2: Analysis

```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Recent Builds ==="
curl -s -H "$AUTH" \
  "https://build-api.cloud.unity3d.com/api/v1/orgs/${UNITY_ORG_ID}/projects/${UNITY_PROJECT_ID}/buildtargets/_all/builds?per_page=10" | \
  jq -r '.[] | "\(.buildNumber) | \(.buildStatus) | \(.platform) | \(.totalTimeInSeconds)s"'

echo ""
echo "=== Cloud Content Delivery Buckets ==="
curl -s -H "$AUTH" \
  "$UNITY_API/api/ccd/orgs/${UNITY_ORG_ID}/projects/${UNITY_PROJECT_ID}/buckets" | \
  jq -r '.[] | "\(.name) | Entries: \(.entry_count) | Size: \(.content_size)"'

echo ""
echo "=== Multiplayer Relay Allocations ==="
curl -s -H "$AUTH" \
  "$UNITY_API/api/v1/projects/${UNITY_PROJECT_ID}/relay/allocations" | \
  jq -r '."active_allocations" // "No active allocations"'

echo ""
echo "=== Player Authentication Stats ==="
curl -s -H "$AUTH" \
  "$UNITY_API/api/player-identity/v1/projects/${UNITY_PROJECT_ID}/stats" | \
  jq -r '"Total Players: \(.total_players)\nDAU: \(.daily_active_users)\nMAU: \(.monthly_active_users)"'
```

## Output Format

```
UNITY CLOUD STATUS
==================
Organization: {org_name} ({tier})
Project: {project_name}
Services Enabled: {count}
Recent Build Success Rate: {rate}%
Active Relay Sessions: {count}
CCD Buckets: {count} ({total_size})
Player DAU/MAU: {dau}/{mau}
Issues: {list_of_warnings}
```

## Anti-Hallucination Rules

1. **NEVER assume resource names** — always discover via CLI/API in Phase 1 before referencing in Phase 2.
2. **NEVER fabricate metric names or dimensions** — verify against the service documentation or `--help` output.
3. **NEVER mix CLI commands between service versions** — confirm which version/API you are targeting.
4. **ALWAYS use the discovery → verify → analyze chain** — every resource referenced must have been discovered first.
5. **ALWAYS handle empty results gracefully** — an empty response is valid data, not an error to retry.

## Counter-Rationalizations

| Shortcut | Counter | Why |
|----------|---------|-----|
| "I'll skip discovery and check known resources" | Always run Phase 1 discovery first | Resource names change, new resources appear — assumed names cause errors |
| "The user only asked for a quick check" | Follow the full discovery → analysis flow | Quick checks miss critical issues; structured analysis catches silent failures |
| "Default configuration is probably fine" | Audit configuration explicitly | Defaults often leave logging, security, and optimization features disabled |
| "Metrics aren't needed for this" | Always check relevant metrics when available | API/CLI responses show current state; metrics reveal trends and intermittent issues |
| "I don't have access to that" | Try the command and report the actual error | Assumed permission failures prevent useful investigation; actual errors are informative |

## Common Pitfalls

- **Build API vs Services API**: Different base URLs — build-api.cloud.unity3d.com vs services.api.unity.com
- **Rate limits**: Unity Cloud API has per-minute rate limits — batch requests carefully
- **Project GUID vs ID**: Some endpoints use GUID, others use short ID — check docs
- **Service enablement**: Services must be enabled in the Unity Dashboard before API access works
