WHAT IT DOES

What submit_protein_embeddings does on ESMfold MCP Server

AI agents invoke submit_protein_embeddings to trigger actions in ESMfold MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
