```shell
uv add crewai-tools[databricks-sdk]
```

Docs: https://docs.databricks.com/en/dev-tools/auth/pat.html

## Example

```python Code
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import DatabricksQueryTool

tool = DatabricksQueryTool(
    default_catalog="main", 
    default_schema="default",
)

agent = Agent(
    role="Data Analyst",
    goal="Query Databricks",
    tools=[tool],
    verbose=True,
)

task = Task(
    description="SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT 10",
    expected_output="10 rows", 
    agent=agent,
)

crew = Crew(
    agents=[agent], 
    tasks=[task],
    verbose=True,
)
result = crew.kickoff()

print(result)
```

## Parameters

- `query` (required): SQL query to execute
- `catalog` (optional): Override default catalog
- `db_schema` (optional): Override default schema
- `warehouse_id` (optional): Override default SQL warehouse
- `row_limit` (optional): Maximum rows to return (default: 1000)

## Defaults on initialization

- `default_catalog`
- `default_schema`
- `default_warehouse_id`

### Error handling & tips

- Authentication errors: verify `DATABRICKS_HOST` begins with `https://` and token is valid.
- Permissions: ensure your SQL warehouse and schema are accessible by your token.
- Limits: long‑running queries should be avoided in agent loops; add filters/limits.
