Conciseness

The body is token-efficient — a resource-type table instead of prose, complete code blocks, and domain-specific details (databricks.yml structure, OpenAI Agents SDK behavior) Claude would not already know — with only minor padding such as "Without this, you'll get permission errors..." restating the risk; above anchor 3 (which expects unnecessary explanation) but not a 5 because the opening line repeats the description and a few sentences could be trimmed.

Actionability

Provides complete, executable McpServer Python and databricks.yml YAML blocks plus the deploy command, covering the common cases copy-paste ready; held at 4 rather than 5 because Step 3 defers deploy specifics to another skill and the profile reminder is generic rather than a fully-specified command.

Workflow Clarity

A clear three-step sequence (add MCP server → grant access in databricks.yml → deploy) with concrete code per step sits above anchor 3; it does not reach 5 because there is no explicit validation/verification checkpoint (e.g., confirming the agent can actually invoke the resource after deploy) despite the failure mode being permission errors.

Progressive Disclosure

Well-sectioned overview with a resource-type table and one-level-deep, clearly signaled references to an examples/ directory and sibling skills; capped at 4 rather than 5 because the referenced example files (examples/custom-mcp-server.md, examples/local-python-tools.md) and the examples/ directory are not present in the bundle to verify, leaving navigation partially unconfirmed.

Specificity

Names the domain and concrete actions — "Add tools to your agent and grant required permissions in databricks.yml" — with the Use-when list enumerating specific tasks (MCP servers, Genie spaces, vector search, UC functions); falls at anchor 4 rather than 3 because it lists several specific actions tied to a concrete config artifact, and below 5 because the action set is narrow (add + grant) rather than comprehensive.

Completeness

Clearly states the "what" (add tools and grant permissions in databricks.yml) and provides an explicit, numbered "Use when" clause with four concrete trigger scenarios, matching the anchor 5 example structure.

Trigger Term Quality

Explicitly quotes natural user phrases — "User says 'add tool', 'connect to', 'grant permission'" — alongside runtime cues ("Permission errors at runtime") and domain terms (MCP servers, Genie spaces, vector search, UC functions), giving comprehensive coverage of natural trigger language.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear databricks-agent-tools niche with distinct triggers, but has minor overlap risk with the closely related create-tools and deploy skills it references; not a 5 because the "add tool"/"connect to" triggers could plausibly surface the create-tools skill instead.
