databricks-unity-catalog

databricks-unity-catalog is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,133 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to Databricks Unity Catalog, which manages data access, files, audit records, lineage, usage, and data-quality information. It covers system tables and file volumes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list files in volumes, inspect lineage and audit logs, review billing and job history, monitor queries, and profile data.
Why use it?
It helps you find out who used data, how tables are connected, how resources are being used, and whether data quality is changing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

databricks-unity-catalog scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Working with volumes (upload, download, list files in /Volumes/)
  • Querying lineage (table dependencies, column-level lineage)
  • Analyzing audit logs (who accessed what, permission changes)
  • Monitoring billing and usage (DBU consumption, cost analysis)
  • Tracking compute resources (cluster usage, warehouse metrics)
  • Reviewing job execution (run history, success rates, failures)
  • Analyzing query performance (slow queries, warehouse utilization)
  • Profiling data quality (data profiling, drift detection, metric tables)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
