- Problem: DatabricksQueryToolSchema treated any query containing the letters "limit" as already capped, so SELECT * FROM limited_orders skipped the default LIMIT 1000. - Fix: detect a real LIMIT n / LIMIT ALL / FETCH FIRST n ROWS clause before appending row_limit. - Verification: uv run pytest lib/crewai-tools/tests/tools/test_databricks_query_tool.py -q -- 9 passed.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Databricks query tool now detects actual ChangesDatabricks limit validation
Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change fixes identifier-based limit detection, but valid queries containing LIMIT text in strings, comments, or nested queries may still skip the row cap, while some valid LIMIT expressions may receive a duplicate clause and fail. The SQL clause detection should be corrected before merge; explicit coverage for FETCH NEXT is also advisable. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Databricks SQL LIMIT syntax integer_expression comments nested subquery LIMIT official documentation
💡 Result:
In Databricks SQL, the LIMIT clause is used to constrain the number of rows returned by a query or subquery [1][2]. Syntax The syntax for the LIMIT clause is: LIMIT { ALL | integer_expression } [1][3] Parameters - ALL: When specified, no limit is applied, and the query returns all rows [1][4]. - integer_expression: This must be a literal expression that evaluates to an integer [1][3]. Key Constraints and Usage - Literal Requirement: The expression provided to LIMIT must be foldable to a constant integer value [1][3]. Non-literal or non-foldable expressions, such as those relying on column values (e.g., LIMIT length(column_name)), are not allowed and will raise an INVALID_LIMIT_LIKE_EXPRESSION error [1][3]. - Subqueries: The LIMIT clause can be applied to both main queries and nested subqueries [2][5]. It is commonly used alongside the ORDER BY clause to ensure deterministic results [1][2]. - Error Conditions: Databricks will raise an INVALID_LIMIT_LIKE_EXPRESSION error if the expression is not foldable, is not an integer type, evaluates to NULL, or evaluates to a negative value [3][4]. Paging: While LIMIT can be combined with OFFSET for pagination, it is advised that this technique is not used for resource-intensive queries, as the skipped rows are still processed by the engine [2][5].

🌐 Web query:
site:docs.databricks.com/sql/language-manual/sql-ref-syntax-qry-select-limit "length('SPARK')" LIMIT
💡 Result:
length('SPARK') evaluates to 5, so:
LIMIT length('SPARK')returns the first 5 rows. Databricks permits this because the expression is foldable and returns an integer. [1][2]
Parse SQL clause context before applying the default limit.
_SQL_LIMIT_CLAUSE_RE.search(self.query) scans raw SQL. It can match LIMIT 5 inside a string, comment, or nested subquery, so validate_input may skip the outer row_limit. It also misses valid foldable expressions such as LIMIT length('SPARK'), then appends a second LIMIT and produces invalid SQL. Use a token-aware scanner that ignores quoted and comment text, tracks parenthesis depth, and recognizes integer expressions. Add regression cases for these inputs.

DatabricksQueryToolSchemadecides whether to appendrow_limitwith a substring check:Any identifier that contains those letters skips the cap. Reproduced on current main:
SELECT * FROM orders… LIMIT 1000;(intended)SELECT * FROM limited_ordersSELECT * FROM orders LIMIT 5Self-sourced. Independent of #6987 / #7120.
Triage / Root cause
"limit" in query.lower()matches table/column names (limited_orders,credit_limit) as if they were aLIMITclause, so the default 1000-row cap never applies.Fix
Detect a real clause (
LIMIT n,LIMIT ALL,FETCH FIRST/NEXT n ROWS) before appendingrow_limit. Identifiers that merely contain"limit"are capped as intended.Verification

After:

Notes / Risks
SELECT limit FROM ordersnow correctly getsLIMIT 1000appended (the column name is not a LIMIT clause).LIMIT n/LIMIT ALL/FETCH FIRST n ROWS ONLYqueries are not rewritten.Fixes #7218
