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:

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
