Snowflake
Customer data, transaction history, and analytics tables sit in Snowflake. Your AI agent writes and executes SQL queries against your warehouse, browses databases and schemas, checks platform status, and retrieves the exact data needed to answer customer questions. No analyst queue required.
Your AI agent executes SQL, navigates database schemas, and monitors Snowflake platform health, turning your data warehouse into a real-time conversation resource.

See how teams use AI agents to query Snowflake's data warehouse during customer interactions for instant, data-backed responses.
A customer calls asking about their usage this quarter. Your AI Agent connects to Snowflake, queries the usage_metrics table filtered by the customer's account ID and date range, and returns total usage, billing amount, and overage status. The support rep has exact figures in seconds. No Jira ticket to the data team, no 24-hour wait for a report.
An analyst starting a new project needs to understand what data is available. Through conversation, your AI Agent browses Snowflake databases, lists schemas within the target database, shows tables with row counts, and even explores column structures. The analyst maps the data landscape in five minutes instead of reading documentation for hours.
Before a scheduled data load, your operations team needs to confirm Snowflake is healthy. Your AI Agent checks the status summary for active incidents, retrieves component-level health for compute and storage, and confirms no scheduled maintenances overlap with the load window. Green light given with confidence, not guesswork.

FAQs
The agent uses Snowflake's SQL API to submit statements. It specifies the database, schema, warehouse, and role context, then executes the query. Results are returned as structured data the agent translates into natural language. Bind variables and session parameters are supported for secure, parameterized queries.
Yes. Access is controlled by the Snowflake role specified in the connection. Create a dedicated role with read-only access to specific databases, schemas, and tables. The agent cannot access data outside the permissions granted to that role. Standard Snowflake RBAC applies.
Snowflake uses basic authentication with username, password, and account ID. The account ID is your Snowflake account identifier, typically in the format 'organization-account'. Enter all three values in the Tars dashboard when adding the tool.
No. Query results are fetched from Snowflake in real time during conversations. The agent processes results to generate responses but does not persist the data. Sensitive customer information from Snowflake is not cached or stored by Tars.
Yes. The agent can submit SQL statements asynchronously, then check the statement handle for completion status. This prevents timeout issues with complex analytical queries. The agent can also cancel long-running statements if needed.
The agent can check Snowflake's status page for active incidents, unresolved issues, component health, and scheduled maintenances. If a query fails and a platform issue is detected, the agent informs the user about the ongoing incident rather than returning a generic error.
Yes. Snowflake natively supports querying JSON, Parquet, and other semi-structured formats. The agent writes SQL that uses Snowflake's variant data type operators and lateral flatten functions. As long as the SQL syntax is valid for Snowflake, the agent can handle any data format.
Snowflake auto-resumes suspended warehouses when a query is submitted. There may be a brief delay while the warehouse starts. The agent handles this by waiting for the statement to complete rather than returning an error. For SHOW commands, a running warehouse is often not required.
