# dna-ml-encode

`station__dna-ml__dna-ml-encode` · external (needs EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL configured) · domain `dna-ml` · pv-relevance `non-pv`

Encode a PV feature vector as a DNA strand. Quantizes floating-point features to bytes, then encodes as nucleotide sequence (A/T/G/C). Returns strand representation and quantized bytes.

> **Note:** This tool routes through an external execution backend. If `EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL` is unset on the server, calls return JSON-RPC error `-32603 "Tool execution backend not configured"`. Tools with `backend: native` execute in-process and are always callable.
