## About

The `looker-make-dashboard` creates a dashboard in the user's
Looker personal folder.

It's compatible with the following sources:

- [looker](../../sources/looker.md)

`looker-make-dashboard` takes one parameter:

1. the `title`

## Example

```yaml
tools:
    make_dashboard:
        kind: looker-make-dashboard
        source: looker-source
        description: |
          This tool creates a new, empty dashboard in Looker. Dashboards are stored
          in the user's personal folder, and the dashboard name must be unique.
          After creation, use `add_dashboard_filter` to add filters and
          `add_dashboard_element` to add content tiles.

          Required Parameters:
          - title (required): A unique title for the new dashboard.
          - description (required): A brief description of the dashboard's purpose.

          Output:
          A JSON object containing a link (`url`) to the newly created dashboard and
          its unique `id`. This `dashboard_id` is crucial for subsequent calls to
          `add_dashboard_filter` and `add_dashboard_element`.
```
