“Databricks development guidance including Python SDK, Databricks Connect, CLI, and REST API. Use when working with databricks-sdk, databricks-connect, or Databricks APIs.”
Generated summary from the skill's own text
This skill guides agents in using the Databricks Python SDK, Databricks Connect, CLI, and REST API to interact with Databricks workspaces. It covers authentication, clusters, jobs, SQL execution, Unity Catalog, file operations, model serving, and vector search, with patterns for both synchronous operations and async applications.
When to use it
- Building agents that manage Databricks clusters, jobs, or warehouse operations
- Executing SQL queries and managing data via Databricks warehouses
- Interacting with Unity Catalog, volumes, or serving endpoints programmatically
- Running Spark code locally against Databricks using Databricks Connect
When not to
- Deploying Databricks resources via infrastructure-as-code (use databricks-dabs instead)
- Managing catalog governance policies (use databricks-unity-catalog instead)
- Operating vector search indexes at scale (use databricks-vector-search instead)
