## About
`serverless-spark-cancel-batch` tool cancels a running Spark batch operation in
a Google Cloud Serverless for Apache Spark source. The cancellation request is
asynchronous, so the batch state will not change immediately after the tool
returns; it can take a minute or so for the cancellation to be reflected.
It's compatible with the following sources:
- [serverless-spark](../../sources/serverless-spark.md)
`serverless-spark-cancel-batch` accepts the following parameters:
- **`operation`** (required): The name of the operation to cancel. For example,
for `projects/my-project/locations/us-central1/operations/my-operation`, you
would pass `my-operation`.
The tool inherits the `project` and `location` from the source configuration.
## Example
```yaml
tools:
cancel_spark_batch:
kind: serverless-spark-cancel-batch
source: my-serverless-spark-source
description: Use this tool to cancel a running serverless spark batch operation.
```
## Response Format
```json
"Cancelled [projects/my-project/regions/us-central1/operations/my-operation]."
```
