Snowflake

Run SQL against Snowflake — execute statements, poll async results, and manage them via the Snowflake SQL API v2.

About

Snowflake ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 5 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Snowflake is a cloud data warehouse, and this app runs SQL against it over Snowflake’s own SQL API — submitting a statement, polling for its result once it finishes, and cancelling one still running. It is the app to reach for when a workflow needs to query or write to a warehouse directly, whether that is pulling a report, loading data, or triggering a stored procedure, without standing up a database driver.

Because a query can take longer than a single request allows, results are fetched asynchronously and support pagination for large result sets. Two read-only conveniences round it out: listing the databases and warehouses visible to the connected account, both of which work without needing an active warehouse selected, since they are metadata operations rather than data queries. The app deliberately stays narrow — a statement-execution surface rather than a full CRUD layer — leaving schema and object management to SQL itself.

Build with Snowflake

Three routes to the same 5 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Snowflake's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

List Databases

database-list

Runs `SHOW DATABASES` and returns the rows as records.

Cancel Statement

statement-cancel

Cancel a running statement by its handle.

Execute SQL Statement

statement-execute

Run a SQL statement via the Snowflake SQL API v2. Snowflake executes synchronously for up to ~45 seconds; a statement still running past that (or submitted with Run Asynchronously) comes back with status "running" and a statementHandle — poll it with Get Statement.

Get Statement Status / Results

statement-get

Poll a statement submitted with Execute SQL Statement (or a Run Asynchronously one) by its handle. Still "running" until Snowflake finishes; large result sets are split into partitions Snowflake tells you about in resultSetMetaData.partitionInfo.

List Warehouses

warehouse-list

Runs `SHOW WAREHOUSES` and returns the rows as records.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Snowflake's real ids.

{
  "manifestVersion": "2",
  "name": "snowflake-example",
  "steps": [
    {
      "id": "statement-execute",

+1 more action available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Snowflake, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Snowflake. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "statement-execute",
  payload: {
    statement: "<value>",
    // warehouse: "<value>",
    // database: "<value>",
    // schema: "<value>",
    // role: "<value>",
    // timeout: "<value>",
    // runAsync: "<value>",
    // bindings: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action statement-execute --payload '{"statement":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Snowflake — without giving it Snowflake's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.snowflake#statement-execute",
    "input": {
      "statement": "<statement>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Snowflake connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Snowflake's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Snowflake itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Snowflake declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

Snowflake platform status

Reads status.snowflake.com's Atom history feed for open (non-Resolved) incidents.

dependency

Account host reachable

Unauthenticated POST to this connection's Snowflake account host. A 401/403 passes — it proves the account resolves and the SQL API is answering; credential validity is the auth:key-pair check's job.
