    tool run_query: …Run a pre-computed query on a VFB entity. REQUIRED WORKFLOW: (1) call get_term_info on the ID first; (2) read the response's "Queries" array; (3) pass one of those values as query_type. Calling run_query with a guessed query_type will return an error. If a query returns empty rows or an error, the entity does not support that query_type or has no data for it — try a different query_type from the Queries array, or try a related entity (e.g. its parent class via get_hierarchy). Empty results do NOT mean the answer is unknown — only that this call did not return it. NEVER fabricate results from training data when a query is empty; tell the user clearly what was tried. NEVER pass tool names like "get_term_info" or "search_terms" as query_type — those are separate tools. Common query_types by entity kind: PaintedDomains, AllAlignedImages, AlignedDatasets, AllDatasets (templates); SimilarMorphologyTo, NeuronInputsTo, NeuronNeuronConnectivityQuery, NeuronRegionConnectivityQuery (individual neurons); ListAllAvailableImages, SubclassesOf, PartsOf, NeuronsPartHere, NeuronsSynaptic, ExpressionOverlapsHere, DownstreamClassConnectivity, UpstreamClassConnectivity (classes). Supports batch — pass an array of IDs (same query_type) or a "queries" array of {id, query_type} pairs; batch results are keyed by "ID::query_type". Results are PAGED: the first 25 rows by default (change with limit/offset) plus the true total as "count". ALWAYS read "count_status" before quoting "count": "exact" means count is the true total; "unavailable" means the query FAILED upstream and count is -1, which is NOT zero and must never be reported as "no results" — read "_note" and tell the user the query could not be run. Image/thumbnail columns are excluded by default to save space - pass include_images=true to include them. FlyBase integration is via query_types too: FindStocks (fly stocks for a FlyBase feature ID - FBgn/FBal/FBti/FBtp/FBco/FBst) and FindComboPublications (publications for an FBco split-GAL4 combination). Get those IDs from resolve_entity / resolve_combination first, then run_query with the ID and the query_type. Include FlyBase links in output: https://flybase.org/reports/{ID}.…
