Security & Permissions
What this skill does:
- Sends task prompts to the Manus API at
api.manus.ai - Polls for task completion and downloads output files from Manus CDN
- API key is sent only in the
API_KEYheader toapi.manus.ai
What this skill does NOT do:
- Does not upload local files (file upload is an advanced API feature not implemented in the bundled script)
- Does not register webhooks or connect external accounts
- Does not send your API key to any endpoint other than
api.manus.ai - Does not modify local system configuration
- Cannot be invoked autonomously by the agent (
disable-model-invocation: true) - You must explicitly trigger every Manus task
Bundled scripts: scripts/manus.sh (Bash — uses curl and jq)
