Where to read more
We wrote it up: Agent and MCP services as Unity Catalog securables — Registering agents and MCP servers as Unity Catalog objects, so every team's agents are discoverable in one place and every tool a server exposes is chosen, policed and counted. That page carries the Beta label while this entry does.
