agents.deploy NOT_FOUND: The directory being accessed is not found. error

I keep getting the following error although the model definitely does exist and version names and model name is correct

RestException: NOT_FOUND: The directory being accessed is not found.

when calling

# Deploy the model to the review app and a model serving endpoint

agents.deploy(model_name, model_version, scale_to_zero=True)

( i'm on a free trial )

@stevomcnevo007 I would suggest raising a support ticket at this point for direct collaboration on the resolution. Meanwhile I'd like to understand if there are any errors related to permission or artifact paths, or some additional error details to pinpoint the root cause:

import mlflow
from databricks import agents

# Set Unity Catalog as the registry
mlflow.set_registry_uri("databricks-uc")

# Verify the registered model and its schema
print(uc_registered_model_info)
model_info = mlflow.models.get_model_info(
    f"models:/emoysis_catalog.cookbook.sop_chatbot/{uc_registered_model_info.version}"
)
print(model_info.signature)

# Deploy the model
deployment_info = agents.deploy(
    model_name="emoysis_catalog.cookbook.sop_chatbot",
    model_version=int(uc_registered_model_info.version),
    environment_vars={},
)
print(deployment_info)

Does the model need to be served before deployment?
