Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Has anyone successfully used an Azure Databricks Genie tool with their agent? I can configure the tool with no problems. The agent connects to Databricks, a list of available Genies are present that I can select, and it saves with no errors. However, every question I ask just returns a generic System Error (see image below). Has anyone made this tool work? Is there some place to get a more detailed error message? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Copilot Studio pre-built agents/templates

Hello,

The issue occurs because full runtime support for Azure Databricks Genie tools is not yet enabled in Copilot Studio. Although the connector UI functions correctly — allowing configuration, authentication, tool saving, and Genie selection — the backend execution layer required to run Genie requests is not fully deployed. As a result, all tool invocations fail with a generic SystemError regardless of configuration.

Currently, Copilot Studio does not provide detailed diagnostic logs such as tool execution traces, API responses, or internal errors, which is consistent with early-stage connector integrations. confirming this as a platform limitation rather than a configuration issue.

Current workaround: Use a Custom API tool to call Databricks via REST API, Azure Functions, or Power Automate/Logic Apps until Microsoft completes runtime support for Genie tools.
