Databricks is locking down Foundation Model governance on two fronts: Unity Catalog permission enablement is being rolled into feature control for Foundation Models 1, and ABAC grant policies now let admins tag models and write exclusion-based policies that revoke schema-level access programmatically 3. Meanwhile, practitioners are still figuring out guardrails after the fact — one is stuck adding safety guardrails to a LangGraph agent already live on a Databricks Serving Endpoint 4, exposing a gap between deployment and runtime safety tooling.

How to enable guardrails to an existing LangGraph agent deployed on a Databricks Serving Endpoint?

I have a LangGraph agent deployed as a Unity Catalog model on a Databricks Serving Endpoint. User : -> Databricks Serving Endpoint: -> UC Model: ai_workspace.agent.agent: -> LangGraph Agent: -> LLM + Tools The serving endpoint shows AI Gateway enabled , but its configuration currently only shows usage tracking. I would like to apply Unity AI Gateway guardrails to this agent. When I go to AI Gateway → Model Service → Create Model Service , I can configure guardrails, but my existing UC model: ' ai_workspace.agent.agent' does not appear in the Destination list. The available destinations appear to be Databricks-hosted foundation models and other supported model providers. My questions are: Can Unity AI Gateway guardrails be applied directly to an existing LangGraph agent deployed on a Databricks Serving Endpoint? If not, can I configure the LangGraph agent to use a Model Service as its underlying LLM endpoint, so that the LLM requests are governed by AI Gateway guardrails? Would those guardrails apply only to the LLM request/response, or can they also govern the LangGraph agent's tool calls and overall execution? What is the recommended Databricks architecture for applying AI Gateway guardrails to a custom LangGraph agent? Is the AI Gateway enabled option on a custom/agent serving endpoint different from the newer Unity AI Gateway Model Service functionality?

PipelineIQ: Forward‑Looking Sales Intelligence That Drives Action

Your CRM data is a mess. Everyone knows it. Most AI tools pretend it isn't. Databricks took a different approach with PipelineIQ - instead of building yet another forecasting model that assumes clean data (spoiler: it never is), they built a prescriptive action engine that works with the chaos. The result? Every deal in the pipeline gets one of three verdicts: 🚶 Walk - disengage, this isn't worth your time 🔄 Pivot - viable deal, wrong approach 🚀 Accelerate - conditions are right, lean in now No vague "insights." No dashboards that require a PhD to interpret. Just: here's what to do today. Built on Databricks' own stack (Foundation Model APIs, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog) and used internally by their own sales org - this is a rare "we built it for ourselves first" story.

ETL Migration to Databricks via LLM Transpilation

I have several ETL jobs from DataStage in .dsx format. I use a PowerShell script to automatically run the migration for a larger number of files. And one job migrates successfully, while another similar one no longer migrates. My code: $jobsPath = "C:\lakebridge_test\jobs" Get-ChildItem $jobsPath -Filter *.dsx | ForEach-Object { $inputFile = $_.FullName $outputPath = "/Workspace/Users/xxx/lakebridge_out/$($_.BaseName)" $psi = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo $psi.FileName = "C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\xxx\lakebridge\databricks_cli_0.258.0_windows_amd64\databricks.exe" $psi.Arguments = @( "labs lakebridge llm-transpile", "--input-source `"$inputFile`"", "--output-ws-folder `"$outputPath`"", "--volume lakebridge_vol", "--catalog-name uc-test", "--schema-name lakebridge_test", "--source-dialect unknown_etl", "--accept-terms=true", "--profile lakebridge" ) -join " " $psi.RedirectStandardInput = $true $psi.RedirectStandardOutput = $true $psi.RedirectStandardError = $true $psi.UseShellExecute = $false $psi.CreateNoWindow = $true $process = [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($psi) $process.StandardInput.WriteLine("0") $process.StandardInput.Close() $stdout = $process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd() $stderr = $process.StandardError.ReadToEnd() $process.WaitForExit() Write-Host "==== $($_.Name) ====" Write-Host $stdout if ($process.ExitCode -ne 0) { Write-Error "FAIL: $($_.Name)" Write-Error $stderr } } It automatically selects: Select a Foundation Model serving endpoint: [0] [Recommended] databricks-claude-sonnet-4-5 and starts the migration process to Databricks. A job consisting of a dataset and a Db2 connector migrates correctly, but a job with dataset → Transformer Stage → Db2 connector fails and returns: Exception: No records found for conversion.
