Inventory Manager API · views
Rename a view or replace what it saves; anything omitted stays as it was
PUT /views/{viewId}
Appends inventory.view-saved with the whole view. Idempotent by content: the event carries the view entire, so a replay lands on the same view whatever order edits arrived in.
Access
Requires saved-views:write.
How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.
Retries
Idempotent by content: the event carries the view entire, so a replay lands on the same view whatever order edits arrived in.
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.
Example
Rename the view; its filters stay as they were.

}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.
