  Handler that calls Lightdash API to list dashboards in the specified project and returns JSON results.

  case 'lightdash_list_dashboards': {
    const args = ListDashboardsRequestSchema.parse(
      request.params.arguments
    );
    const { data, error } = await lightdashClient.GET(
      '/api/v1/projects/{projectUuid}/dashboards',
      {
        params: {
          path: {
            projectUuid: args.projectUuid,
          },
        },
      }
    );
    if (error) {
      throw new Error(
        `Lightdash API error: ${error.error.name}, ${
          error.error.message ?? 'no message'
        }`
      );
    }
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: JSON.stringify(data.results, null, 2),
