How Manus uses tools

Manus selects tools autonomously based on their descriptions. When you assign a research task, Manus reads the tool descriptions cadin exposes and decides which ones to call without per-tool approval. This makes it well-suited for multi-step legal research, for example, finding relevant documents, reading cited passages, then broadening the search across jurisdictions, all in a single task.

There are no documented tool count limits. Manus has access to all 4 cadin document tools and can chain them across jurisdictions as needed.
