FAQPage Schema

How do I discover available workspace tools and resources in a Databricks environment?▼

To discover Databricks workspace tools, you can query Databricks APIs to enumerate available MCP servers, Genie spaces, UC functions, vector search indexes, and external connections. This returns a metadata profile detailing resource types, locations, and access patterns for automation.

What Databricks resources can I locate for agent integration planning?▼

You can locate Databricks resources such as MCP servers, Unity Catalog (UC) functions, vector search indexes, Genie spaces, and external connections. Identifying these accessible workspace tools accelerates agent development and tool chaining workflows.

How do I find MCP servers and Genie spaces in my Databricks workspace?▼

Finding MCP servers and Genie spaces in a Databricks workspace involves running tool discovery via Databricks APIs. This process identifies and maps resource locations and access patterns, providing a consolidated view for downstream agent automation.

When should I run workspace tool discovery before writing agent code?▼

You should run workspace tool discovery before writing agent code to understand what Databricks resources you can connect to. Locating MCP servers, UC functions, and vector search indexes beforehand ensures accurate integration planning and effective tool chaining.

Can I enumerate Unity Catalog functions and vector search indexes for agent development?▼

Yes, you can enumerate Unity Catalog functions and vector search indexes alongside MCP servers and external connections. Discovering these Databricks workspace resources provides a consolidated map of access patterns to accelerate your agent development workflows.

Does Databricks workspace discovery support external connections and vector indexes?▼

Databricks workspace discovery supports identifying external connections and vector search indexes. By using Databricks APIs, it returns concise metadata profiles including resource type, location, and access patterns for downstream automation and integration.
