Reporting Manager API · model
The entity graph as THIS caller may see it
GET /model
The entity graph as THIS caller may see it: the reportable entities with their labelled dimensions and measures (each measure carrying its kind, flow or balance, and its aggregation), and the declared edges between the entities that survived — filtered server-side to the fields the caller's jobs may reference, so a report builder driven by this answer can only offer what a save or a run would accept.
This is the sanctioned introspection surface: pure declared data with no engine and no SQL behind it — the underlying engine's own metadata endpoints must never be proxied in its place. Requires the analyse, account or admin job.
Access
Requires reports:read.
How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.
AI agent tool
Agents call this as reporting_describe_model (Reporting: Describe model), in the reporting toolset. It only reads.
Connecting an agent: AI agents.
Example
Trimmed to the two entities a units-by-SKU report walks; the full model lists every reportable entity.

}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: reporting-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://reporting.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 |
|---|---|---|

403
| Refusal | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
TenantRequired userId | The token names no organization. | Choose the organization, then get a new token. |

409
| Refusal | What it means | What to do |
