+# Function: createWorkspaceClient()
+
+```ts
+function createWorkspaceClient(opts: WorkspaceClientOptions): WorkspaceClient;
+```
+
+Construct an AppKit workspace client.
+
+Auth resolution:
+  - If `opts.token` is set, uses PAT credentials.
+  - Otherwise, walks the SDK default auth chain (env vars +
+    ~/.databrickscfg).
+
+Host resolution:
+  - Explicit `opts.host` → use it.
+  - Otherwise `DATABRICKS_HOST` env var.
+  - Otherwise the legacy client's resolved host (lazy fallback).
+
+## Parameters

+| Parameter | Type |
