# SBE - 24.1

DRAFT

## SBE API changes

### **Added APIs**

* [Get Manifest](https://developers.symphony.com/restapi/main/user-management/user-manifest) & [Update Manifest](https://developers.symphony.com/restapi/main/user-management/update-user-manifest): Chat bots can now provide a manifest that describes the commands they support. Users interacting with these bots will then benefit from an autocomplete menu when they type "/" in the chat text editor, to help them discover the supported functionalities, and the format of the commands.
  * **Important**: This feature has a dependency on an upcoming **Symphony Client** release version. Please watch the Symphony Client release notes to know when the feature will be available to you.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.developers.symphony.com/admin-guide/change-log/sbe-pod-api/sbe-24.1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
