Databricks Model Serving endpoint lifecycle and ops. An agent skill from databricks/databricks-agent-skills.

  • Asked to: CRUD serving endpoints (CLI
  • SKILL.md covers Endpoint Types, Endpoint Structure, CLI Discovery — ALWAYS Do This… and Create an Endpoint, plus 7 more sections
  • Calls databricks and jq
  • MLflow Deployments client)

What it does

Databricks Model Serving is an agent skill from databricks/databricks-agent-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Databricks Model Serving endpoint lifecycle and ops. Use when asked to: CRUD serving endpoints (CLI or MLflow Deployments client); configure traffic routing for A/B / canary deploys and zero-downtime version swaps; retrieve OpenAPI schemas; inspect logs, metrics, or permissions; manage AI Gateway rate limits; discover Foundation Model API endpoints at runtime; integrate endpoints into Databricks Apps; or stream from off-platform clients (Vercel AI SDK v6, standalone Node.js). NOT for: training, MLflow…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/off-platform-streaming.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires databricks CLI (= v0.294.0)

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM inference and serving, Deployment and REST APIs. It works with Databricks, MLflow, OpenAPI and Vercel AI SDK. The repository describes itself as: Databricks AI Tools: skills and plugins for building on Databricks with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and other AI coding agents.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to: CRUD serving endpoints (CLI
  • MLflow Deployments client)
  • Configure traffic routing for A/B / canary deploys and zero-downtime version swaps
  • Retrieve OpenAPI schemas

Example prompts

  • “Use the databricks-model-serving skill to databrick Model Serving endpoint lifecycle and ops. An agent skill from databricks/databricks-agent-skills”
  • “/databricks-model-serving”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires databricks CLI (>= v0.294.0)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f4fcec5. 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
    • jq

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires databricks CLI (>= v0.294.0)

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Databricks Model Serving loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 186 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,094 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~186
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.8k

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 1,094 words (~3,251 tokens).

“FIRST: Use the parent databricks-core skill for CLI basics, authentication, and profile selection.”
