# parameters

> The parameters object for the SWAIG function.

The `parameters` object is used to define the input data that will be passed to the function.

## **Properties**

**`functions[].parameters`** `object`

An object that accepts the following properties.

---

**`parameters.type`** `string` — required

Defines the top-level type of the parameters. Must be set to `"object"`

---

**`parameters.properties`** `object` — required

An object containing the [properties](#properties) definitions to be passed to the function

---

**`properties.{property_name}`** `object` — required

The `properties` object defines the input data that will be passed to the function. It supports different types of parameters, each with their own set of configuration options. The property name is a key in the `properties` object that is user-defined. An object with dynamic property names, where:

* **Keys:** User-defined strings, that set the property name.
* **Values:** Must be one of the valid [schema types](#schema-types). Learn more about valid schema types from the [JSON Schema documentation](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference)
