List all Looks saved in a specific folder.
AI agents call get_folder_looks to retrieve information from Looker MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves/queries Looks (saved queries) within a folder. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, or trigger external operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused — an agent could retrieve information about saved queries but cannot alter them.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_' and description states 'List all Looks' — both indicate retrieval without modification. No mention of deletion, creation, or execution.
