Research direction
Start by locating the repository's existing query tools and their tests to understand how dataflow IDs, tables, columns, limits, and result options are handled. Add the distinct-values tool with optional counts and configurable frequency or alphabetical ordering, then verify all acceptance criteria through the relevant test suite.
