Agentic Databricks Health Check
A recurring, read-only Health Check of your Databricks platform. You see what runs, what it costs, and where it leaks, then decide what to fix.
Six areas, one pass
Cost, jobs, data quality, security, notebooks, and Unity Catalog readiness, read in a single pass and handed back as a ranked list of what to fix first.
Cost and compute
DBU spend, idle time, and cluster type per job, with the resizing that cuts cost right away.
Jobs and pipelines
Every job, schedule, and dependency mapped, so the pipelines that fail or collide are the ones you fix first.
Data quality and storage
Table structure, partitioning, formats, and constraints, and where performance breaks as data grows.
Security and access
Tokens, service accounts, and access levels inventoried, with the risks ranked for you to tighten.
Notebooks and code
Notebooks outside version control, hard-coded credentials, and fragile dependencies, ranked by priority.
Unity Catalog readiness
Your metastore, DBFS dependencies, and Hive tables assessed, with a prioritised roadmap for the migration.
The whole platform, read in few days
The agent connects over MCP and inventories the workspace, then digs where the anomalies are.
01 · Connect
You issue a read-only service principal, we verify access, and the agent takes its first inventory. No production code is touched.
02 · Broad analysis
With access in place, the agent sweeps all six areas automatically and flags the anomalies worth a closer look.
03 · Deep analysis and storage
Then it digs into the flagged findings, the most expensive, most risky, and most blocking first. Each answer sets up the next question.
04 · Compile
Once the digging converges, the findings are prioritised into one report, with an action list ranked by impact and effort.
05 · Present
Finally, we walk your team through it and agree on what a first fix, or the next health check, should cover.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the health check actually run?
A read-only service principal is connected to your workspace, and setup takes hours. The agent inventories all six areas, then deep-dives the most expensive, most risky, and most blocking findings. You get one report with prioritised recommendations, each carrying estimated impact, effort, and dependencies.
How is this different from a FinOps tool or a cloud-native advisor?
Those track spend continuously and surface dashboards. The health check reads the whole platform once and ends in a ranked action list: which cluster to resize, which job is misconfigured, what blocks your Unity Catalog migration. It also covers security, notebooks, and readiness at the Databricks level you actually pay for. The two work well together.
Do we need Unity Catalog first?
No. Every analysis area is reachable through Databricks REST APIs that exist independently of Unity Catalog. Where you have it, the health check goes deeper on lineage and per-job cost attribution. Where you do not, cost analysis uses account-level usage exports, and the health check tells you when and how migrating pays off.
Is it safe to run against production?
Yes. The agent authenticates as a read-only service principal, and the guarantee is enforced in code: your organization rejects any request that is not a read before it leaves the process. It reads configuration and metadata only, and makes no changes to your workspace.
Where does our data go?
The health check analyses configuration and run patterns, and leaves your business data in place. Notebook scanning happens locally, and only a redacted snippet of any detected credential is ever forwarded. Every call carries a custom user-agent, so the full sequence is reconstructable from your own log.
What do we get at the end?
One report that your CIO, CTO, and platform owner can read in the same session. It covers an executive summary, a full inventory, cost analysis with quantified savings, a security overview, technical debt in priority order, a Unity Catalog roadmap, and a prioritised action list.
What does it cost?
The first health check is a fixed price, and it is free if it does not find savings over the next twelve months that cover it. After that, it runs quarterly as a standing baseline and can fold into a managed service.
