• get_chapter ~255 tokens
  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.
• get_code_examples ~306 tokens
  The SQL, Python, CLI and config blocks in the guide that match a topic, each with the explanation around it, the section it is from (URL with anchor), and the docs links that section cites. Runnable context for a coding agent; check the linked Databricks docs for current syntax.
• learn_path ~364 tokens
  Interactive: a curated learning path through the Field Guide, by role or goal (data-engineer-fundamentals, analytics-engineer, ml-engineer, platform-admin, snowflake-to-databricks, cost-control): its steps in order (a section to read, a concept to explore, a quiz), each with the call that opens it.
