Output
Returns JSON with:
message(string): Human-readable guidance pointing at the saved filehierarchyFilePath(string): Filesystem path to the JSON file that contains the actual hierarchy data
The hierarchy itself is not in the response — it is written to the file at hierarchyFilePath. Open that file to read the Context and Hierarchy payload (GameObject tree, components, etc.).
