 This call requires that a Schnorr key with ID `key_id` was generated by the IC and the signing functionality for that key was enabled. Otherwise, the call is is rejected.
 
+This call accepts an optional auxiliary parameter `aux`. The auxiliary parameter type `schnorr_aux` is a variant. The only currently supported variant is `bip341` which allows passing a Merkle tree root hash, which is required to implement Taproot signatures as defined in [BIP341](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0341.mediawiki). The `bip341` variant is anly allowed for `bip340secp256k1` signatures, and if provided the `merkle_root_hash` blob must be exactly 32 bytes long, and should be generated in accordance with BIP341's specification for `taproot_output_script`. If no auxiliary parameter is provided, then `bip340secp256k1` signatures are generated in accordance with BIP340.
+
 Cycles to pay for the call must be explicitly transferred with the call, i.e., they are not automatically deducted from the caller's balance implicitly (e.g., as for inter-canister calls).
