Inventory Manager API · products
A page of the organization's products with their variants, newest first
GET /products
q matches title, handle or variant SKU (as GET /items), status to a comma-separated set of statuses (archived products are listed unless narrowed away), catalogId to what one channel catalog lists, sort/order pick the column and direction (an unknown catalog is a 404; an archived one lists nothing — it has been withdrawn, and it resolves empty for every reader). total counts every match regardless of the page; limit is 1-200 and omitting it returns every match; page with offset.
Access
Requires products:read or orders:read or catalogs:read.
Any one of these scopes is enough.
How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.
AI agent tool
Agents call this as catalog_list_products (Catalog: List products), in the catalog toolset. It only reads.
Connecting an agent: AI agents.

}The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web
page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: inventory-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://inventory.getmanifold.io.
Errors
Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.
