Get a topic buyers ask AI about

parse_get_topic: public lookups tool on Parse's MCP server.

Use when the user asks which brands AI recommends for something buyers ask about, or wants the topic behind a question. Takes a topic id from parse_search, or a question's slug. Returns the topic's name, its market, the questions it is asked as and the brands AI mentions for it, in the order its page ranks them (the first 25 unless brandLimit asks for more; brandsTotal is how many it ranks), with the dates and the number of answers counted. Next: parse_check_brand for one of those brands, or parse_search on the market for nearby topics.
