What you’ll see
The manifest holds more than a name and instructions. This walkthrough uses its advanced properties to refine behavior, tighten governance, and control the experience users get.
- Disclaimers to set expectations and meet compliance needs
- Behavior overrides to reshape how the agent responds
- Default response mode to control the shape of answers
- Sharper instructions and environment configuration for consistent results
The takeaway: the difference between a prototype and a product often lives in a handful of manifest properties most people never open.
