What it does
Cookbook Volumes is an agent skill from databricks-solutions/databricks-apps-cookbook. Upload and download files from Unity Catalog Volumes in Databricks Apps. Use when the user needs file upload, file download, or file management with UC Volumes in Dash, Streamlit, Reflex, or FastAPI.
Its SKILL.md is about 970 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 Backend development, File uploads and storage and File organization. It works with 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 needs file upload
- File management with UC Volumes in Dash
Example prompts
- “/cookbook-volumes”
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
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 Volumes loads about 974 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 121 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 121 words (~974 tokens).
“Upload and download files from Unity Catalog Volumes using the Databricks SDK. Unlike notebooks, Databricks Apps cannot mount volumes directly -- files must be uploaded/downloaded via the SDK.”
