Well...it's definitely a commandment. I don't know if a commandment can be a covenant, too.
Definition of covenant: It presupposes two or more parties who come together to make a contract, agreeing on promises, stipulations, privileges, and responsibilities.
When God said "you must not eat", he wasn't seeking Adam's agreement, IMHO, was he?
