When to use this skill
Use when the user wants to:
- List or inspect Looker explores and dashboards
- Understand Looker content structure via profiles
Do not use for natural language questions — use dcx-ca instead. For GCP admin commands (instances, backups), use dcx-looker-admin-api.
Prerequisites
Content commands require a Looker profile with source_type: looker.
See dcx-bigquery for authentication.
Commands
List explores
dcx looker explores list --profile looker-sales.yaml --format json
Get explore details
dcx looker explores get --profile looker-sales.yaml --explore model/explore_name --format json
List dashboards
dcx looker dashboards list --profile looker-sales.yaml --format json
Get dashboard details
dcx looker dashboards get --profile looker-sales.yaml --dashboard-id 42 --format json
