Implementation Reference

• src/databricks_mcp_proxy/server.py:61-82 (handler)

  The handler function implementing the list_databricks_tools tool. It lists all discovered remote tools with their names, descriptions, and input parameters if available. Requires prior authentication.

  @mcp.tool()
  def list_databricks_tools() -> str:
      """
      List all available tools on the remote Databricks MCP server.
      Must authenticate first.
      """
      if not state.authenticated or not state.proxy:
          return "Not authenticated. Call 'authenticate' first."
      
      if not state.proxy.tools:
          return "No tools available."
      
      lines = [f"Available tools ({len(state.proxy.tools)}):\n"]
      for tool in state.proxy.tools:
          lines.append(f"**{tool.name}**")
          lines.append(f"  {tool.description}")
          if tool.input_schema.get("properties"):
              lines.append(f"  Parameters: {list(tool.input_schema['properties'].keys())}")
          lines.append("")
      
      return "\n".join(lines)

• src/databricks_mcp_proxy/server.py:28-59 (helper)

  The authenticate tool handler which initializes the proxy, connects, and calls discover_tools to populate the list of remote tools used by list_databricks_tools.
