Description

Issue: Add count_rows tool

Labels: enhancement, query-experience, priority:medium

Problem:
Getting a row count requires a full query with Table.RowCount. Should be a one-liner.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Tool accepts: dataflow ID, table name
  • Returns row count as integer
  • Optimized to avoid full table scan where possible
