# Get action The `Get Action` function is what a user will code up, which dictates how the bot will run. The function takes `game state` and `api` as inputs. The game state describes the state of the world. The API object contains helpful methods to make coding easier. The function should return an `action object`, which is the action the bot wishes to perform on its turn. --- # 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.
