          This tool generates boilerplate LookML views directly from the database schema.
          It does not create model or explore files, only view files in the specified folder.

          Prerequisite: The Looker session must be in Development Mode. Use `dev_mode: true` first.

          Parameters:
          - project_id (required): The unique ID of the LookML project.
          - connection (required): The database connection name.
          - tables (required): A list of objects to generate views for. Each object must contain `schema` and `table_name` (note: table names are case-sensitive). Optional fields include `primary_key`, `base_view`, and `columns` (array of objects with `column_name`).
          - folder_name (optional): The folder to place the view files in (defaults to 'views/').

          Output:
          A confirmation message upon successful view generation, or an error message if the operation fails.
