What it does
Cookbook Authentication is an agent skill from databricks-solutions/databricks-apps-cookbook. Implement authentication in Databricks Apps: get current user info, on-behalf-of-user (OBO) auth, service principal auth, and OAuth patterns. Use when the user asks about auth, user tokens, service principals, OAuth, or OBO in Dash, Streamlit, Reflex, or FastAPI.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Backend & APIs, covering Authentication, Backend development and OAuth and OpenID Connect. It works with Databricks, FastAPI, Streamlit and SQL. The repository describes itself as: Ready-to-use code snippets for building interactive Databricks Apps.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks about auth
- Service principals
Example prompts
- “/cookbook-authentication”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in DATABRICKS_CLIENT_SECRET
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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
databricks
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
workspace.cloud.databricks.com
Also links to:
docs.databricks.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
DATABRICKS_CLIENT_SECRET
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Cookbook Authentication loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 314 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 314 words (~1,764 tokens).
“Databricks Apps supports two auth models: app auth (service principal) and user auth (on-behalf-of-user). Choose based on whether operations should run as the app or as the logged-in user.”
