At a glance

Invoke ML models, run vector search, and connect to MCP servers from Databricks Apps.

  • The user wants to call a model serving endpoint
  • SKILL.md covers Recipes, Resources, Permissions and Dependencies, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Query a vector search index

What it does

Cookbook Aiml is an agent skill from databricks-solutions/databricks-apps-cookbook. Invoke ML models, run vector search, and connect to MCP servers from Databricks Apps. Use when the user wants to call a model serving endpoint, query a vector search index, use LLMs/embeddings, or connect to an MCP server in Dash, Streamlit, Reflex, or FastAPI.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Vector databases, MCP servers and LLM inference and serving. It works with Model Context Protocol, Databricks, Streamlit and FastAPI. The repository describes itself as: Ready-to-use code snippets for building interactive Databricks Apps.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to call a model serving endpoint
  • Query a vector search index
  • Use LLMs/embeddings
  • Connect to an MCP server in Dash

Example prompts

  • “/cookbook-aiml”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4018368. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.databricks.com
    • modelcontextprotocol.io

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cookbook Aiml loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 195 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 195 words (~1,699 tokens).

“Invoke models on Model Serving, query Vector Search indexes, and connect to MCP servers from your Databricks App.”
