Manus Task Runner — Quick Start
Create a Manus task via an external API call, then copy the returned task JSON.
What it does
- Creates a Manus task using your prompt and selected agent profile.
- Shows the raw JSON response from Manus so you can inspect it.
- Lets you copy the returned task JSON (clipboard or manual copy).
What it does not do
- It does not execute tools or take actions on your behalf.
- It does not upload or sync your saved exports from this device.
- It does not store your raw prompts in Tay.
Step-by-step
- Sign in (the provider endpoints require an authenticated session).
- Go to /throne.
- In “External Agents → Manus”, choose an agent profile (lite / standard / max).
- Paste a clear task prompt (keep it short; very large prompts will be rejected).
- Press “Create task”.
- If it succeeds, you’ll see “Result (JSON)”. Use “Copy JSON” to copy it.
Example
Example input
Draft a short checklist for reviewing a resume. Keep it 10 bullets. Tone: calm and direct.
Example output snippet
{
"ok": true,
"provider": "manus",
"agent_profile": "manus-1.6",
"task": { ... }
}Error meanings
- unauthorized — you’re signed out. Sign in and try again.
- missing_manus_api_key — Manus isn’t configured on this deployment.
- manus_timeout — the Manus API did not respond in time.
- manus_upstream_error — Manus returned a non-2xx response.
Privacy note: No raw prompts are stored by Tay.
When to use it
- When you want a task created in Manus and you need the task payload.
- When you’re testing external provider wiring in a controlled way.
- When you want a one-shot external call with a visible JSON result.
- When you need something removable that doesn’t touch core tools.
When not to use it
- When you need Tay to execute actions (this slice does not do that).
- When you’re signed out or the provider is not configured.
- When the prompt contains secrets you do not want sent to Manus.
