Manus actions 14

Every Manus action below is a callable tool any Definable persona can invoke.

Create File

Tool to create a file record and obtain a presigned URL for uploading file content to S3. Use when you need to upload a file to Manus. After calling this action, use the returned upload_url with a PUT request to upload the actual file content. The upload URL expires at the timestamp specified in upload_expires_at.

Create New Project

Tool to create a new project with default instructions. Projects organize tasks and apply consistent instructions across multiple task creations via the project_id parameter. Use when you need to set up a new project workspace for organizing related tasks.

Create New Task

Creates a new AI task with custom parameters, attachments, and optional connectors. Supports multi-turn conversations by specifying taskId for continuation. Use when you want to create a new task for the Manus agent to execute.

Create Webhook

Tool to register a webhook to receive real-time task notifications. Use when you need to set up real-time notifications for task events such as task_created, task_progress, and task_stopped. The webhook URL must be accessible over HTTPS and will receive POST requests with task event data in JSON format.

Delete a file

Deletes a file by ID. This removes both the file record and the file from S3 storage. Use when you need to remove a previously uploaded file from the Manus platform.

Delete task

Permanently delete a task by its ID. This action cannot be undone. Use this action when you want to permanently remove a task from the system.

Delete Webhook

Removes a webhook subscription. This is a destructive operation that permanently removes the webhook. Use when you need to delete an existing webhook that is no longer needed.

Get file details

Retrieves details of a specific file by ID, including its status and metadata. Use this to get information about a previously uploaded file such as its name, current status (pending, uploaded, or deleted), and creation timestamp.

Get Task

Retrieves details of a specific task by ID, including status, output messages, credit usage, and metadata. Use this action to check the current status of a task and retrieve its results after it has been submitted. Example: Get the details of task with ID "Y7BNH7rfCVjxMQjU98R2wq".

Get Webhook Public Key

Retrieves the RSA public key used for verifying webhook signatures. Use this key to validate that webhook requests genuinely came from Manus. This is essential for security - always verify webhook signatures before processing the payload.

List uploaded files

Retrieves a list of the 10 most recently uploaded files. Use this action to get information about files that have been uploaded to the Manus platform, including their IDs, filenames, creation timestamps, and status.

List Projects

Retrieve a list of all projects in your account with optional pagination. Use this action when you need to get all projects to find a specific project ID or to see all available projects.

List tasks

Retrieves a list of tasks with optional filtering and pagination. Allows searching, filtering by status, and sorting by creation or update time. Use this action to fetch multiple tasks at once, optionally filtered by status, project, search query, or time range. Supports pagination via 'after' cursor and sorting via 'order' and 'order_by' parameters.

Update Task

Updates a task's metadata such as title, sharing settings, and visibility in the task list. Use when you need to modify an existing task's properties like its title, enable or disable public sharing, or change its visibility in the task list.
