Databricks governs agent skills and external model spend
Databricks added beta Unity Catalog Skills as permissioned, tagged and audited SKILL.md resources that coding agents can download or load over MCP. Unity Gateway also began tracking and capping spend for external providers such as Amazon Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry.
Why it matters: Reusable instructions and third-party model traffic become shared supply-chain and budget objects. Central discovery, update rights, audit and spend ceilings can reduce drift, but only if runtime clients actually enforce the catalog and gateway path.
