mimic_build_chart
Build complete charts (bar, line, donut, radar) in a single call—container, visualization, labels, grid, legend, bound to DS variables. Replaces 30-50 hand-building steps with one API call.
Instructions
Bulk chart builder — creates an entire chart in ONE call: container, visualization (native rectangles or stroke-free SVG), axis labels, grid lines, and legend, all bound to DS variables and text styles. Use for ANY HTML chart instead of hand-building; reduces 30-50 tool calls to 1. chartType: bar, line, donut, radar. Key params: parentId, chartType, title, data, dimensions, colors (neutral DS data palette — never Brand/Success/Warning/Error). Use mimic_compute_chart for geometry-only. Phase 2+.
