Review Comment:
   **Suggestion:** The validator rejects `meta.chartId` values stored as 
strings, even though existing dashboard layouts may legitimately contain string 
representations and the sibling chart-removal tool explicitly supports both 
integer and string IDs. Updating such a legacy or hand-edited dashboard will 
therefore return `InvalidDashboardLayout` despite the layout referring to the 
correct associated charts. Normalize numeric strings or compare both 
representations before rejecting the layout. [api mismatch]

Review Comment:
   **Suggestion:** The recursive walk has no depth limit and does not handle 
`RecursionError`. A caller can submit a deeply nested layout that causes the 
validator to exceed Python's recursion limit, so `update_dashboard` fails 
before returning its structured validation error and can tie up or disrupt the 
request worker. Validate with an iterative traversal or enforce a bounded 
nesting depth. [security]
   
   <details>
   <summary><b>Severity Level:</b> Minor 🧹</summary>
   
   ```mdx
   - ⚠️ Deep layout validation can abort an MCP request unexpectedly.
   - ⚠️ A malicious authorized caller can consume request-worker work with 
oversized nesting.

Review Comment:
   **Suggestion:** The request description instructs callers to retrieve the 
current layout with `get_dashboard_layout` before making incremental changes, 
but that tool returns only parsed tabs and chart positions and omits the raw 
component tree, including component IDs, children, parents, and metadata needed 
by this full-replacement validator. An agent following this guidance cannot 
reliably construct a valid replacement. Either expose the raw layout through 
the discovery tool or change the description to direct callers to an API that 
provides the complete `position_json`. [api mismatch]
