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

  1. Sign in (the provider endpoints require an authenticated session).
  2. Go to /throne.
  3. In “External Agents → Manus”, choose an agent profile (lite / standard / max).
  4. Paste a clear task prompt (keep it short; very large prompts will be rejected).
  5. Press “Create task”.
  6. 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.
