Search and read TechFabric's Databricks Field Guide: chapters, code examples and what changed.
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a reasonably distinct role: list_chapters enumerates, search_guide finds sections, get_chapter reads one in full, get_code_examples surfaces code blocks, and whats_new shows recent changes. There is mild overlap between search_guide and get_code_examples (both query-based retrieval), but descriptions clarify that search_guide covers the whole guide while get_code_examples filters to code blocks.
Four of five tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern (get_chapter, get_code_examples, list_chapters, search_guide). whats_new breaks the pattern as a noun-style name, but it is a widely understood convention and remains readable.
Five tools is well-scoped for a read-only documentation/guide browser, with no redundant or filler tools. Each tool covers a distinct access path (list, search, read, code, changelog).
For a guide-browsing domain, the surface covers enumeration, search, full reads, code extraction, and recency, which is near-complete. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no dedicated way to fetch a single margin note or filter by part/tag without search), but agents can work around these.
One chapter (or margin note) of the guide as clean Markdown with its code blocks intact, or one section of it: with its outline, its code blocks listed separately, its FAQs, when it last changed, and the official docs.databricks.com links it cites for the authoritative detail.
