Description

Hi,
is is possible to find out the exact version of the sequence libraries at the remote mmseqs server used to build the msa when running colabfold_batch locally (https://github.com/YoshitakaMo/localcolabfold) ?

Expected Behavior

This would be helpful to report your methods in publications and to make your multiple sequence alignments reproducible.

Your Environment

"host_url": "https://api.colabfold.com",
"user_agent": "colabfold/1.5.5 (d36504fad856a0e1df511c5b0434957707030319)",

Research direction

Begin by tracing how localcolabfold's colabfold_batch uses the api.colabfold.com endpoint and review the reported user-agent for version metadata. Determine whether the remote service exposes exact sequence-library versions; done means users can retrieve the versions used for an MSA and report them for reproducibility.
