Manifold API

Manifold API Skill

Purpose

The Manifold API skill is designed to interact safely with the local Manifold HTTP API running at http:/localhost:32180. It provides helper scripts to inspect the OpenAPI spec (/openapi.json) safely without dumping large documents into context, and rules for avoiding destructive operations and redacting sensitive information.

Usage

Use the provided shell script to interact with the Manifold API spec or health endpoints safely:

# Check if the API is running
./manifold-api/main.sh healthz

# Get the OpenAPI definition for a specific path (e.g., /api/projects)
./manifold-api/main.sh spec-path "/api/projects"

Configuration

• Dependencies: curl, jq
• Target URL: Defaults to http:/localhost:32180

File Structure

• manifold-api/SKILL.md: This documentation template and skill rules.
• manifold-api/main.sh: Entry point script for interacting with the API safely.

Best Practices & Rules

1. Filter Specs: Never dump the full openapi.json into context. Use the main.sh spec-path script to inspect one path at a time.
2. Redaction: Redact apiKey, bearer tokens, cookies, auth headers, and extraHeaders values in API responses.
3. Safety First: Always ask before modifying /api/config/agentd or deleting objects like specialists, teams, sessions, workflows, datasets, experiments, or prompt versions.
4. Data Shapes: Use live GET requests to discover the structure of GenericObject fields before sending POST/PUT/PATCH requests. Do not invent request fields.
