# Proposal System Many operations in this API use a proposal-based workflow: * **Direct Operations**: Read-only operations (GET) directly access current data * **Proposal Operations**: Modifications (CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE) create proposals * **Automatic vs Manual Approval**: Proposals may be automatically approved based on system configuration or require manual approval If a new proposal is added through the API it is not resolved instantaneously even if the backend is configured to automatically approve. This means that the Proposal will initially be marked as not approved yet. --- # Agent Instructions: 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: ``` GET https://docs.ag5.com/ag5-api/version-4-beta/ag5-skills-management-api/proposal-system.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. 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.
