Discover Available Tools
Run tool discovery BEFORE writing agent code to understand what resources are available in the workspace.
Run Discovery
bash
uv run discover-tools
Options:
bash
# Limit to specific catalog/schema uv run discover-tools --catalog my_catalog --schema my_schema # Output as JSON uv run discover-tools --format json --output tools.json # Save markdown report uv run discover-tools --output tools.md # Use specific Databricks profile uv run discover-tools --profile DEFAULT
What Gets Discovered
| Resource Type | Description | MCP URL Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| UC Functions | SQL UDFs as agent tools | {host}/api/2.0/mcp/functions/{catalog}/{schema} |
| UC Tables | Structured data for querying | (via UC functions) |
| Vector Search Indexes | RAG applications | {host}/api/2.0/mcp/vector-search/{catalog}/{schema} |
| Genie Spaces | Natural language data interface | {host}/api/2.0/mcp/genie/{space_id} |
| Custom MCP Servers | Apps starting with mcp-* | {app_url}/mcp |
| External MCP Servers | Via UC connections | {host}/api/2.0/mcp/external/{connection_name} |
Next Steps
After discovering tools:
- •Add MCP servers to your agent - See modify-agent skill for SDK-specific code examples
- •Grant permissions in
databricks.yml- See add-tools skill for YAML snippets - •Test locally with
uv run start-app- See run-locally skill
