Discover Available Tools

Run tool discovery BEFORE writing agent code to understand what resources are available in the workspace.

Run Discovery

uv run discover-tools

Options:

# 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:

  1. Add MCP servers to your agent - See modify-agent skill for SDK-specific code examples
  2. Grant permissions in databricks.yml - See add-tools skill for YAML snippets
  3. Test locally with uv run start-app - See run-locally skill
