Description
Issue: Add validate_query tool
Labels: enhancement, query-experience, priority:high
Problem:
M code syntax errors only surface at execution time. Wasted round trips for typos and malformed queries.
Proposed Solution:
Syntax validation tool that checks M code without executing it.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Tool accepts: M code string
- Returns success or error with line number and message
- Fast response (no data source connection needed for syntax check)

Research direction
Start by locating the existing query-tool entry point and how M code is currently parsed or executed. Define the validation boundary before implementing it: accept an M code string, avoid data-source connections, and return either success or an error containing a line number and message. Confirm the fast, non-executing behavior with tests.
