`looker-make-look` takes eleven parameters:

1. the `model`
2. the `explore`
3. the `fields` list
4. an optional set of `filters`
5. an optional set of `pivots`
6. an optional set of `sorts`
7. an optional `limit`
8. an optional `tz`
9. an optional `vis_config`
10. the `title`
11. an optional `description`

## Example

```yaml
tools:
    make_look:
        kind: looker-make-look
        source: looker-source
        description: |
          This tool creates a new Look (saved query with visualization) in Looker.
          The Look will be saved in the user's personal folder, and its name must be unique.

          Required Parameters:
          - title: A unique title for the new Look.
          - description: A brief description of the Look's purpose.
          - model_name: The name of the LookML model (from `get_models`).
          - explore_name: The name of the explore (from `get_explores`).
          - fields: A list of field names (dimensions, measures, filters, or parameters) to include in the query.

          Optional Parameters:
          - pivots, filters, sorts, limit, query_timezone: These parameters are identical
            to those described for the `query` tool.
          - vis_config: A JSON object defining the visualization settings for the Look.
            The structure and options are the same as for the `query_url` tool's `vis_config`.

          Output:
          A JSON object containing a link (`url`) to the newly created Look, along with its `id` and `slug`.
```
