# Request Cooker Parameters

This section lists the configuration parameters that you can set in the `[RequestCooker]` section of the configuration file.

A request cooker modifies queries before QMS processes them according to your QMS rules. For each query that you cook, QMS sends the original query to the request cooker, which returns a modified query. QMS then queries the promotion agentstore for rules that match the modified query, and applies any rules.

You can also use an expanded request cooker to process the query after QMS has applied any rules. See Expanded Request Cooker Parameters.
