takes a set of documents and produces a question-answering chat agent that cites its sources; it does not fill a table or take actions. The Agent Bricks FAQ now lists it as legacy, pointing new low-code agents to Genie Agents.

takes unstructured documents or text and returns structured fields that follow a schema you define, as JSON.

coordinates several existing agents and tools and routes each part of a request to the right one; the docs call it Supervisor Agent and the FAQ lists it as legacy.

a curated natural-language interface over a set of Unity Catalog tables: you ask in plain English, Genie writes and runs the SQL, and returns the answer.

the compute that serves vector queries (the docs now say AI Search endpoint, formerly Vector Search endpoint); an index lives on an endpoint.

a Vector Search index kept in step with a source Delta table, with embeddings computed by Databricks or supplied by you (self-managed).

a Vector Search index that is not synced automatically: you update it yourself through the REST API.

the MLflow tool that stores a prompt as a named Unity Catalog object and creates an immutable, numbered version each time it changes.

an MCP server provided and hosted by Databricks that exposes platform capabilities, such as Databricks SQL and Genie One, as tools.

an MCP server you build, typically from Databricks Apps templates, to expose your own logic or wrap an internal REST API.

log each request and response sent to a serving endpoint into a Unity Catalog Delta table.

records requests, tokens and latency per endpoint in system tables, so you can see who is using what and what it costs.

runs your scorers automatically on a sample of production traffic, so quality is checked continuously after launch.

an expected answer or expected facts supplied with each evaluation record; Correctness, RetrievalSufficiency and ToolCallCorrectness need it.
