## About

## Example

This tool retrieves a list of available LookML models in the Looker instance.
LookML models define the data structure and relationships that users can query.
The output includes details like the model's `name` and `label`, which are
essential for subsequent calls to tools like `get_explores` or `query`.
This tool takes no parameters.
