WHAT IT DOES

What get_export_manifest does on Boxkite — Xero Backup & Export

AI agents call get_export_manifest to retrieve information from Boxkite — Xero Backup & Export without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`exportId`	string	Yes
`fileLimit`	integer	—	Files per page (default 500, max 5000)
`fileOffset`	integer	—	Index of the first file to return (default 0)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_export_manifest is rated Low

This tool performs pure data retrieval—it queries the status and contents of an ongoing export operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is strictly informational, reading manifest metadata as exports proceed. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose accounting data visibility (already backup/read-only context), not enable destructive or financial actions.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'See what an IN-PROGRESS export contains' and returns status information and file lists. The server description emphasizes 'read-only backup and export' of accounting data.

FAQ

Questions about get_export_manifest

What does the get_export_manifest tool do? +

See what an IN-PROGRESS export contains so far (entities included, per-entity record/file counts, and per-file checksums), growing as discovery and downloading proceed. The per-file list is paged: check filesPage.hasMore and pass fileOffset to walk it. Once the export finishes, this returns status 'complete' with a pointer instead of a list, because the full manifest travels inside the ZIP as manifest.json: get a download URL, then read manifest.json from the archive. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Boxkite — Xero Backup & Export MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does get_export_manifest accept? +

get_export_manifest accepts 3 parameters: exportId, fileLimit, fileOffset. Required: exportId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
