Dashboards API
Create Dashboard
Create a dashboard on a team. team_id is in the body because there is no row to read it from yet; every other dashboard call takes only the id in the path. tabs sets up the initial tab structure and each tab's widgets list must be empty: widgets are created against an existing dashboard, so a new one has nothing to place yet. Create the widgets against the dashboard, then place them with the tabs field on PUT /v2/dashboards/{id}. Note the shape differs across the three calls: tabs is a bare list at the root of the create body and of the GET response, but a wrapper object ({"tabs": [...]}) on update. A GET response is therefore not a create body -- to clone a dashboard, wrap its tabs for the update call, and empty their widgets lists for the create call. Excluded from the generated MCP tools: Catalyst changes dashboards through staged, human-published change sets, and an auto-generated tool would be an unstaged second path to the same rows.
