Assuming the query is valid (which I can't verify), the use of [query]
is sending the results off into oblivion.

I am guessing from the context that you would expect the interpolation
to be replaced with the number showing count(sku). To do that, you need
(a) the list parameter true, and (b) the body to include the proper
PREFIX-* tags to show what you want:
