looker-get-connection-table-columns accepts a conn parameter, a schema parameter, a tables parameter with a comma separated list of tables, and an optional db parameter.

Example

    get_connection_table_columns:
        kind: looker-get-connection-table-columns
        source: looker-source
        description: |
          This tool retrieves a list of columns for one or more specified tables within a
          given database schema and connection.

          Parameters:
          - connection_name (required): The name of the database connection, obtained from `get_connections`.
          - schema (required): The name of the schema where the tables reside, obtained from `get_connection_schemas`.
          - tables (required): A comma-separated string of table names for which to retrieve columns
            (e.g., "users,orders,products"), obtained from `get_connection_tables`.
          - database (optional): The name of the database to filter by. Only applicable for connections
            that support multiple databases (check with `get_connections`).

          Output:

          such as `table_name`, `column_name`, `data_type`, and `is_nullable`.
