🚀 Automating Databricks Unity Catalog Access with AI Agents

[BijuThottathil]

Tired of complex governance workflows? We’ve successfully combined the power of multi-agent AI with state-of-the-art orchestration tools to automate Databricks Unity Catalog (UC) access management!

This isn’t just a basic script — it’s an intelligent, self-correcting system.

The Stack Breakdown:

1. CrewAI Agent (The Brain): Acts as the ‘Security Admin,’ interpreting user requests and deciding the exact UC API call needed (e.g., GRANT SELECT on catalog/schema/table to user@domain.com).
2. LangGraph (The Router): Provides robust orchestration, managing the conversational state, verifying inputs, and routing the agent’s decision to the appropriate executor.
3. Streamlit (The Interface): Delivers a clean, user-friendly UI for non-technical users to request access without writing a single line of SQL.
4. GPT-4.1-nano (The Oracle): Powers the CrewAI agent with cost-effective, real-time reasoning to handle natural language complexity and security context.
5. Databricks SDK (The Muscles): Executes the final, validated API commands directly against Unity Catalog.
