- Job Orchestration — List all configured workflows and jobs, and monitor recent executions to verify data pipeline statuses
- SQL Warehouse Management — Enumerate explicitly configured SQL Serverless warehouses and track their active operational boundaries
- Unity Catalog Exploration — List root catalogs and detailed schemas/databases to identify exactly where your structured data resides
- Identity Oversight — Fetch profile information for the authenticated user or service principal to verify active workspace permissions
- Run Auditing — Retrieve chronological logs of job runs to identify precise points of failure in your complex data workflows
How it works

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent check the status of a specific Databricks job run?
Yes. Provide the 'job_id' to the 'list_job_runs' tool. The agent will retrieve the chronological history of executions, allowing you to identify successful completions or precise points of failure in your workflows.
How do I explore schemas within a specific Unity Catalog via chat?
Use the 'list_schemas' tool and provide the catalog name. Your agent will pull the detailed databases and schemas registered inside that Unity Catalog, giving you immediate visibility into your data hierarchy.
Can I monitor the health of my Databricks clusters through the agent?
Absolutely. The 'list_clusters' and 'get_cluster' tools allow your agent to retrieve detailed node information and operational statuses, helping you audit cluster health and capacity across your workspace.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
