Provides both original and segmented images to the VLM for visual quality assessment.

Use this tool after run_cellpose_sam to check segmentation quality. The tool attaches
both images to the current step so you can visually compare them.
NOTE: If paths are empty or invalid, the tool will automatically use paths from context.
Before calling, consider using search_knowledge_graph or hybrid_search to refresh
your understanding of how cellpose parameters affect segmentation.
Common issues and fixes:
- Under-segmentation (cells merged): decrease flow_threshold or diameter
- Over-segmentation (cells fragmented): increase flow_threshold or min_size
- Too few cells: decrease cellprob_threshold or flow_threshold
- Too many false positives: increase cellprob_threshold or min_size
