This tool creates a new, empty dashboard in Looker. Dashboards are stored

`add_dashboard_element` to add content tiles.
Required Parameters:
- title (required): A unique title for the new dashboard.
- description (required): A brief description of the dashboard's purpose.
Output:
A JSON object containing a link (`url`) to the newly created dashboard and
its unique `id`. This `dashboard_id` is crucial for subsequent calls to
