start_hereStart using the Field Guide immediately. Call this for 'help me learn Databricks', 'try the Field Guide', or to begin certification prep. No arguments starts a Unity Catalog diagnostic. A topic opens its concept or chapter quiz; goal certification with an exam opens a covered do…
search_guideSearch 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).
get_chapterOne 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_examplesThe 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.
whats_newRecent 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.
list_chaptersEvery chapter in the guide's order, with its part, summary, dates, URL, Markdown URL and its main sections; and the margin notes.
review_databricks_codeCheck 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…
estimate_costEstimate 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…
explore_conceptInteractive: 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, medall…
quiz_meInteractive: 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 determi…
learn_pathInteractive: 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…
exam_prepInteractive: 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):…
flashcardsInteractive: 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; e…
visualizeInteractive: 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 Me…
decideInteractive: 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 "sho…
explore_diagramInteractive: 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 diagr…
toolkit_infoWhat TechFabric's free Chrome extension for Databricks (TechFabric Toolkit for Databricks 0.10.0) does, how to install it, the permissions it asks for and its privacy model. Call it for "what can the TechFabric Chrome extension do", "does the toolkit support X", "how do I instal…
toolkit_generateRuns one of the offline generators from the Build tab of TechFabric's Chrome extension for Databricks (TechFabric Toolkit for Databricks 0.10.0) with the extension's own code, so the output matches it: Unity Catalog grants with a rollback script, table DDL / MERGE / GRANT, a tab…
