## Response Parameters

| Parameter        | Type         | Description                                                    |
| ---------------- | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| error            | null\|object | Error object when the call fails, otherwise null               |
| id               | string       | Request identifier matching the request                        |
| result.asm       | string       | The script in assembly notation                                |
| result.reqSigs   | numeric      | Number of signatures required to spend                         |
| result.type      | string       | Script type, such as `pubkeyhash`, `scripthash`, or `multisig` |
| result.addresses | array        | Addresses the script pays to                                   |
| result.p2sh      | string       | The P2SH address that wraps this script                        |

## Use Cases

* **Script Inspection**: Read what a locking script does before spending it
* **Address Extraction**: Resolve the addresses behind a raw output script
* **Multisig Setup**: Read the P2SH address that wraps a redeem script
* **Debugging**: Confirm a constructed script decodes as intended

## Error Handling
