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'.

Create Tool Resources
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.
Which resource do you need?
| I want my agent to... | Resource to create | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Answer questions about structured data | Genie space | examples/genie-space.md |
| Search documents / RAG | Vector Search index | examples/vector-search-index.md |
| Call custom SQL/Python logic | UC function | examples/uc-function.md |
| Connect to an external MCP server | UC connection | examples/uc-connection.md |
| Add inline Python tools | Local function tools | examples/local-python-tools.md |
