add_dashboard_element Tool
This tool creates a new tile in a Looker dashboard using
the query parameters and the vis_config specified.
Most of the parameters are the same as the query_url
tool. In addition, there is a title that may be provided.
The dashboard_id must be specified. That is obtained
from calling make_dashboard.
This tool can be called many times for one dashboard_id
and the resulting tiles will be added in order.
