Use this Manus write tool when you need to create a manus project with shared instructions. requires confirmation. It contacts the configured Manus API v2 POST /v2/project.create endpoint and requires a request-scoped x-manus-api-key. Creates shared instructions container; dry-run and confirm required. It is dry-run by default and requires confirm=true after approval before the provider write executes. The result is a compact, secret-redacted object and never includes the Portal grant or provider credential.
