What it does

Databricks Unity Gateway is an agent skill from databricks/databricks-agent-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when querying or calling pay-per-token foundation models, or when creating, updating, listing, or querying Unity Gateway (also called Unity AI Gateway) services, including model provider services, MCP services, system.ai services, and three-part Unity Catalog service names (catalog.schema.service). Also use for managing spend budgets and usage alerts on Unity Gateway, and for migrating from legacy AI Gateway. Also use when a workload with Model Serving endpoint permissions (for example CANQUERY) gets…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/account-access.md` and `references/budgets.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires databricks CLI (= v1.11.0)

It sits in Game Development, covering LLM inference and serving. It works with Databricks and Model Context Protocol. 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

  • Calling pay-per-token foundation models
  • Querying Unity Gateway (also called Unity AI Gateway) services
  • Including model provider services
  • System.ai services

Example prompts

  • “/databricks-unity-gateway”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires databricks CLI (>= v1.11.0)

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify the CLI meets the minimum version
  2. Inspect the command and the relevant operation before constructing a payload
  3. Pass create and update configuration through --json. Use an explicit profile when

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c196426. 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

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

    • docs.databricks.com
    • developers.databricks.com
    • openresponses.org

    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 (>= v1.11.0)

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Databricks Unity Gateway loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 193 tokens; SKILL.md has 539 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~193
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~14k

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 539 words (~1,767 tokens).

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