Every capability is a discrete, logged action the agent calls by name — scoped to what you authorize and recorded in the run trace.
Create FileMANUS_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 ProjectMANUS_CREATE_PROJECT

Create New TaskMANUS_CREATE_TASK

Create WebhookMANUS_CREATE_WEBHOOK

The webhook URL must be accessible over HTTPS and will receive POST requests with task event data in JSON format.
