+Use the Describe Model API to get detail runtime status and customized metadata of a version of a model:
+* Implement function _is_describe and describe_handle. Eg.
+```
+    def _is_describe(self):

+            if self.context.get_request_header(0, "describe") == "True":

+        output_describe = None
+
+        logger.info("Collect customized metadata")
+
+        return output_describe
+```
+* Call function _is_describe and describe_handle in handle. Eg.
+```
+def handle(self, data, context):

 ## Unregister a model
 
 This API follows the [ManagementAPIsService.UnregisterModel](https://github.com/pytorch/serve/blob/master/frontend/server/src/main/resources/proto/management.proto) gRPC API. It returns the status of a model in the ModelServer.
