What it does
Databricks Unity Catalog is an agent skill from Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace. Unity Catalog system tables and volumes. Use when querying system tables (audit, lineage, billing) or working with volume file operations (upload, download, list files in /Volumes/).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `5-system-tables.md`, `6-volumes.md` and `7-data-profiling.md`).
It sits in Game Development. It works with Databricks. The repository describes itself as: Kilo Marketplace - A curated collection of Skills, MCP Servers, and Modes for enhancing AI agent capabilities across the Kilo ecosystem—including Kilo Code (VS Code extension)…
When your agent uses it
- Querying system tables (audit
- Working with volume file operations (upload
- List files in /Volumes/)
Example prompts
- “/databricks-unity-catalog”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Filter by date - System tables can be large; always use date filters
- Use appropriate retention - Check your workspace's retention settings
- Grant minimal access - System tables contain sensitive metadata
- Schedule reports - Create scheduled queries for regular monitoring
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ff51758. 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 sql and 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
Databricks Unity Catalog loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 244 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 244 words (~1,155 tokens).
