Save the current search and filters of a list as a named view

POST /views

filters are the screen's own units — a key, is/is-not, and the values — stored as given and interpreted by the screen that saved them. Appends inventory.view-saved. No idempotency key: a retried save is a second view — accepted, because a view is personal, cheap and deletable, and never touches stock or money.

Access

Requires saved-views:write.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

Retries

No idempotency key: a retried save is a second view — accepted, because a view is personal, cheap and deletable, and never touches stock or money.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

Facts appended

inventory.view-saved

What a fact is: Facts and the journal.

AI agent tool

No agent tool. Saved list views are the admin's display state (a screen's search and filters), not work; an agent filters the list tools directly.

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.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Send the same request again shortly.

How refusals work everywhere: Errors.
