-Inference response parameters is currently not supported on BLS inference
-responses received by BLS models.
+The parameters associated with an inference response can be retrieved using the
+`inference_response.parameters()` function. This function returns a JSON string
+where the keys are the keys of the parameters object and the values are the
+values for the parameters field. Note that you need to parse this string using
+`json.loads` to convert it to a dictionary.
