parse_why: workspace reads tool on Parse's MCP server.

Use when the user asks why AI describes their brand a certain way, or why it recommends a rival. Returns Parse's standing insights (what is still true of the brand) and what changed in the last two weeks (Activity's change lines) as short claims. Next, on Pro: parse_evidence with a returned typed reference reads the answers behind it, and standing cards open with parse_evidence using the returned typed reference. Increase weeks for older claims.
