Create Tools

Create Databricks resources that agents connect to as tools. Use when: (1) User needs to create a Genie space, vector search index, UC function, or UC connection, (2) User says 'create tool', 'set up genie', 'create vector search', 'register MCP server', (3) Before add-tools when the resource doesn't exist yet, (4) User asks 'what do I need to create before adding this tool'.

This skill covers creating the Databricks resources your agent connects to. After creating a resource, use the add-tools skill to wire it into your agent and grant permissions.
