The terms that we use in the SNMP world to describe these entities are that
the manager sends a request to the agent, who then sends a response back to
the manager.  You are asking how the agent builds its response.  What kind
of agent is it?  Is it also net-snmp, or is it something else?

RFC3416 talks about the rules for setting them - e.g., general definitions
in section 4.1
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3416#section-4.1
and specifics about how they are set when handling a GetRequest in section
4.2.1
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3416#section-4.2.1
