description: Prepare Snowflake Cortex direct API access: account URL, auth method, role, warehouse, database/schema context, privileges, and Cortex Agent routing. Use only for direct API workflows; Do not use for MCP-only work.

# preset-snowflake-cortex

Use as the Snowflake Cortex routing and safety boundary before Cortex Agent REST or SQL workflows. This is for API/operator workflows, not Preset chatbot runtime instructions.

## Always

- Resolve Snowflake account URL, auth method, role, warehouse, database, and schema.
- Do not use Preset workspace hostnames for Snowflake Cortex APIs.
- Do not print PATs, private keys, OAuth tokens, signed JWTs, or session tokens.
- Verify Cortex Agent privileges before live calls.
- Treat Cortex Agent execution as high impact because it can call tools, use warehouses, and expose governed Snowflake data.
- Re-check Snowflake docs for implementation work because Cortex schemas are evolving.
