covabasic_describe_structure
Explain what a structure IS, in prose — parent framework, ring system, functional groups, substituents.
Turns a SMILES into a readable chemical description rather than a table of
numbers. Useful for reports, for captioning a drawn structure, and for
checking that a structure is what you meant to draw.
style="human" — compact, chemistry-facing narrative: the parent skeleton,
heteroatom positions, unsaturation, the principal
characteristic group, then substituents with their locants.
style="technical" — the full naming walkthrough, including how the name was
assembled token by token.
Returns: `{name, paragraphs: [...], text, rules_hit, smiles, style, engine}`,
or `{error, smiles}`. `text` is the paragraphs joined for direct display.Input Schema
