As of my current knowledge and search capabilities, that is official, permanent, or widely cited in mainstream Shia scholarly databases. Many references to Rijal al-Kashi (also known as Ikhtiyar Ma'rifat al-Rijal by Shaykh al-Tusi) exist in classical texts, but "report 176" is not a standard canonical identifier across all editions or digital libraries.
