Monitor and cap external provider costs
Unity Gateway can now track and cap spend on external model providers, such as Amazon Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry, not just Databricks-provided models.

You can now publish, govern, and share agent skills with Unity Catalog. A skill is a first-class Unity Catalog securable ( catalog.schema.skill ) that follows the SKILL.md specification , so you register it once and control who can discover, use, and update it with the same permissions, tags, and audit that protect your tables.
