Tools as reported by the server

• search_guide
  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).
• get_chapter
  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_examples
  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.
• whats_new
  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.
• list_chapters
  Every chapter in the guide's order, with its part, summary, dates, URL, Markdown URL and its main sections; and the margin notes.
• review_databricks_code
  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
• estimate_cost
  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 Lak
• explore_concept
  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-
• quiz_me
  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 g
