DataWorks (dataworks-public)

Use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI (RPC) with official SDKs or OpenAPI Explorer to manage all DataWorks resources. MCP Server is available as an alternative integration.

Workflow

1. Confirm region, project/resource identifiers, and desired action.
2. Discover available APIs and required parameters (see API discovery below).
3. Call API via SDK.
4. Verify results with describe/list/get APIs.

Troubleshooting fallback chain (follow this order)

If execution fails at any step, escalate to the next level:

1. Cookbook — check references/cookbook.md first. It contains verified API patterns, pitfalls, error recovery, the full end-to-end lifecycle (Create → Submit → Deploy → Run → Monitor), and reusable code snippets. Most common issues are already documented there.
2. Official help docs — read the API overview and per-API doc pages.
   • If an API call fails or the request/error is not understood, fetch the API directory page to locate the relevant API documentation: https://help.aliyun.com/zh/dataworks/developer-reference/api-dataworks-public-2024-05-18-dir
