Can I use Snowflake as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Snowflake CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Snowflake through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Snowflake tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Snowflake credentials stored?

Snowflake credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Snowflake MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Snowflake CLI for Coding Agents

Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.

Use this pattern when another coding agent needs exact commands and schema discovery. The Snowflake CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Snowflake CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure snowflake --set access_token="$SNOWFLAKE_ACCESS_TOKEN" --set account="$SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call snowflake.snowflake_execute_query '{"sql":"example_sql","warehouse":"example_warehouse","database":"example_database","schema":"example_schema"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Snowflake docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs snowflake --json
kosmo integrations:docs snowflake.snowflake_execute_query --json
kosmo integrations:schema snowflake.snowflake_execute_query --json
kosmo integrations:search "Snowflake" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful Snowflake CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`snowflake.snowflake_execute_query`	Write	sql, warehouse, database, schema	Execute a SQL statement on Snowflake. Returns column metadata and result rows. Optionally specify warehouse, database, and schema context.
`snowflake.snowflake_list_databases`	Read	none	List all databases in the Snowflake account. Returns database names, identifiers, and creation timestamps.
`snowflake.snowflake_get_database`	Read	database	Get details for a specific Snowflake database, including retention time, owner, and size.
`snowflake.snowflake_list_schemas`	Read	database	List all schemas within a Snowflake database. Returns schema names and metadata.
`snowflake.snowflake_list_tables`	Read	database, schema	List all tables within a Snowflake database schema. Returns table names, types, and metadata.
`snowflake.snowflake_describe_table`	Read	database, schema, table	Describe a Snowflake table — get column names, data types, nullable, default values, and other metadata.
`snowflake.snowflake_list_warehouses`	Read	none	List all warehouses in the Snowflake account. Returns warehouse names, sizes, and status.
`snowflake.snowflake_get_warehouse`	Read	name	Get details for a specific Snowflake warehouse, including size, type, auto-suspend, and auto-resume settings.
`snowflake.snowflake_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get the current authenticated Snowflake user and session information.

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.
Keep credentials out of argv by using environment variables or stored KosmoKrator configuration.
Configure read/write policy before unattended runs; use --force only for trusted automation.
Use the MCP gateway instead when the agent needs dynamic tool discovery inside a conversation.
