 ### Server identity and instructions
 
 The canonical `createApp()` identity for this project is `name: 'ensembl-mcp-server'` plus `title: 'ensembl-mcp-server'`. Keep both bare and hyphenated; npm and install surfaces retain the published `@cyanheads/ensembl-mcp-server` identity. Package metadata supplies the description and website, so don't duplicate those fields in `createApp()`.

+- **`ensembl_query_region` returns `assemblyName`** — read from the overlap rows or resolved via `/info/assembly` and cached per species for the process ([#23](https://github.com/cyanheads/ensembl-mcp-server/issues/23)).
+
+## Fixed
+
+- **`ensembl_query_region` rejects an empty `feature` array** at the schema instead of forwarding it to Ensembl ([#21](https://github.com/cyanheads/ensembl-mcp-server/issues/21)).
+- **Oversized, reversed, or out-of-bounds regions classify as `invalid_region`** on both region tools, with actionable recovery guidance — also undecodable regions on `ensembl_query_region` (limit 5,000,000 bases) and unknown sequence regions on `ensembl_get_sequence` (limit 10,000,000 bases), which rejects reversed coordinates before any request ([#24](https://github.com/cyanheads/ensembl-mcp-server/issues/24), [#27](https://github.com/cyanheads/ensembl-mcp-server/issues/27), [#28](https://github.com/cyanheads/ensembl-mcp-server/issues/28)).
+- **Both region tools classify Ensembl's error text in linear time** — the patterns matched against the echoed id or region no longer backtrack, and on `ensembl_get_sequence` an unknown stable ID whose echo reads like a type mismatch now reports `not_found` ([#27](https://github.com/cyanheads/ensembl-mcp-server/issues/27), [#28](https://github.com/cyanheads/ensembl-mcp-server/issues/28)).
+- **`ensembl_get_sequence` rejects a non-genomic `type` for a region id** as `type_mismatch` — `/sequence/region` ignores `type` and always serves genomic DNA, so the tool now fails the request instead of mislabeling it ([#25](https://github.com/cyanheads/ensembl-mcp-server/issues/25)).
+- **Blank or whitespace-only required identifiers are rejected at the schema** — `id`, `region`, `species`, `variant`, and batch `ids`/`symbols` entries across every tool, instead of reaching Ensembl unfiltered ([#22](https://github.com/cyanheads/ensembl-mcp-server/issues/22)).
