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
Need a resource that doesn't exist yet? See the create-tools skill.
