## About
The `looker-make-look` creates a saved Look in the user's
Looker personal folder.
It's compatible with the following sources:
- [looker](../../sources/looker.md)
`looker-make-look` takes twelve 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`
12. an optional `folder` id. If not provided, the user's default folder will be used.
## 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`.
