• decideDecide with the guideread-only

  Interactive: walks a Databricks decision one question at a time (which-compute, serverless-or-classic, lakebase-or-delta, genie-or-dashboard, streaming-or-batch): every answer rests on the guide's own sentences, verbatim, with the section to read. Call it when the user asks "should I use serverless or classic", "Lakebase or Delta?", "Genie or a dashboard?" or "which compute for this job". The text gives the whole tree; send choices (option numbers so far) for the answer. In a terminal that shows forms it asks each question as a form.

• estimate_costEstimate Databricks costread-only

  Estimate a Databricks workload's monthly cost from the figures the Field Guide states (list prices per DBU by compute type, DBUs an hour by SQL warehouse size and classic instance type, model serving prices for pay-per-token, provisioned throughput, GPU and CPU serving, Apps and Genie rates, the Lakebase floor, storage), as a range with its assumptions, and the price per unit under unit_prices. Every number carries its source sentence, section URL, date and the pricing page the guide cites. Where the guide has no figure (cloud VM prices, a serverless job's DBUs an hour, a model or instance typ…

• exam_prepPrepare for a Databricks certificationread-only

  Interactive: certification prep for Databricks' exams (data-engineer-associate, data-engineer-professional, data-analyst-associate, machine-learning-associate, machine-learning-professional, genai-engineer-associate, context-engineer-associate, apache-spark-developer-associate): each domain with its weight as Databricks publishes it, the guide sections and concepts that bear on it, how much the guide covers it (said honestly, gaps included), the official exam page and guide, and practice questions from the guide's own text for one domain. Call it when the user says "help me prepare for the Dat…

• explore_conceptExplore a Databricks conceptread-only

  Interactive: explains one Databricks concept step by step from the Field Guide's chapters: delta-transaction-log, liquid-clustering-vs-zorder, spark-shuffle-and-stages, unity-catalog-privilege-inheritance, photon-vs-classic-cost, cluster-autoscaling, streaming-watermarks, medallion-layers, lakebase-branching, serverless-vs-classic, mlflow-model-lifecycle. Call it first when the user asks "how does the Delta transaction log work?", "show me watermarks step by step" or "visualise Unity Catalog privilege inheritance", rather than answering from memory or running code. Every point comes with the g…

• explore_diagramPlay a chapter's diagramsread-only

  Interactive: a chapter's own diagrams, played step by step: each flowchart edge or sequence message in order, each node linking the section of the chapter it is about. Call it when the user says "show me the diagram for Lakebase branching" or "walk me through the medallion diagram". The text lists every diagram's nodes, its edges in order and its Mermaid source, so a terminal can draw it.

• flashcardsFlashcards from the guideread-only

  Interactive: flashcards for a Databricks exam domain (data-engineer-associate, data-engineer-professional, data-analyst-associate, machine-learning-associate, machine-learning-professional, genai-engineer-associate, context-engineer-associate, apache-spark-developer-associate; exam_prep lists the domains) or a chapter, built deterministically from the Field Guide: glossary terms, FAQs and each mapped section's lead sentence. The back of every card is the guide's own sentence with its section URL; a domain the guide doesn't cover says so. Call it when the user says "flashcards for the Data Engi…

• get_chapterRead a chapterread-only

  One chapter (or margin note) of the guide as clean Markdown with its code blocks intact, or one section of it: with its outline, its code blocks listed separately, its FAQs, when it last changed, and the official docs.databricks.com links it cites for the authoritative detail.

• get_code_examplesFind code examplesread-only

  The SQL, Python, CLI and config blocks in the guide that match a topic, each with the explanation around it, the section it is from (URL with anchor), and the docs links that section cites. Runnable context for a coding agent; check the linked Databricks docs for current syntax.

• learn_pathFollow a Databricks learning pathread-only

  Interactive: a curated learning path through the Field Guide, by role or goal (data-engineer-fundamentals, analytics-engineer, ml-engineer, platform-admin, snowflake-to-databricks, cost-control): its steps in order (a section to read, a concept to explore, a quiz), each with the call that opens it. Call it when the user asks "where do I start with Databricks", "a learning path for an analytics engineer" or "what should I learn next". Progress lives with the reader: send the steps done back as done. In a host that renders MCP Apps it opens as a map of the route with each step's story; the text …

• list_chaptersList chaptersread-only

  Every chapter in the guide's order, with its part, summary, dates, URL, Markdown URL and its main sections; and the margin notes.

• quiz_meQuiz me on the guideread-only

  Interactive: quizzes the reader. Call it when the user says "quiz me on Unity Catalog", "test me on Lakebase" or "check what I know about the Delta log". Five to eight multiple-choice questions on a chapter of the Field Guide, one section of it, or the whole guide, built deterministically from the guide's own tables, question-headed sections, FAQs and glossary: every question and every option is a phrase the guide states, and no model writes them. Each has its answer, the guide's explanation and the section URL. In a host that renders MCP Apps the reader answers and is scored in the view. In a…

• review_databricks_codeReview Databricks coderead-only

  Check one file of SQL, Python (PySpark, a notebook's source) or YAML (a Databricks Asset Bundle, job, cluster or warehouse config) against the Field Guide's own best-practice rules, deterministically: partitioning where the guide would cluster, secrets and storage paths written into code, grants to people rather than groups, environments in table names, jobs on all-purpose clusters or without timeouts, warehouses and clusters without auto-stop, bundle targets without their modes, and the rest of the rules the chapters state. Each finding gives the line, why, the fix, the guide's passage verbat…

• search_guideSearch the guideread-only

  Search the guide's chapters, margin notes and events for a Databricks question. Returns the best sections first, each with a snippet, its URL with the section anchor, and when the page last changed. Read one in full with get_chapter (pass the URL, or the slug and the anchor).

• visualizeDraw an answerread-only

  Interactive: draws your answer as a card the reader can use, from an A2UI v0.9.1 document you write: a comparison of options with a verdict, a plan as steps or a timeline, a cost or sizing calculator with sliders and a chart that follows them, a quiz or flashcards, a table, a Mermaid diagram. Use it when the reader asks to compare, "which should I use", to plan, "explain how", "show me" or to visualise something. For a Databricks question, first get the facts with search_guide or get_chapter, put them in the document, and pass those URLs as sources: only pages of the Field Guide are listed as …

• whats_newWhat's new in Databricksread-only

  Recent Databricks changes the guide tracks, newest first: margin notes (dated news with our position), release-stage changes from the feature register (with links to Databricks' documentation and release note), and chapters updated. Defaults to the last 30 days.
