Core Workflows

1. List Databases

Use SNOWFLAKE_SHOW_DATABASES to discover available databases with optional filtering and Time Travel support.

Tool: SNOWFLAKE_SHOW_DATABASES
Inputs:
  - like_pattern: string (SQL wildcard, e.g., "%test%") -- case-insensitive
  - starts_with: string (e.g., "PROD") -- case-sensitive
  - limit: integer (max 10000)
  - history: boolean (include dropped databases within Time Travel retention)
  - terse: boolean (return subset of columns: created_on, name, kind, database_name, schema_name)
  - role: string (role to use for execution)
  - warehouse: string (optional, not required for SHOW DATABASES)
  - timeout: integer (seconds)

2. Browse Schemas

Use SNOWFLAKE_SHOW_SCHEMAS to list schemas within a database or across the account.

Tool: SNOWFLAKE_SHOW_SCHEMAS
Inputs:
  - database: string (database context)
  - in_scope: "ACCOUNT" | "DATABASE" | "<specific_database_name>"
  - like_pattern: string (SQL wildcard filter)
  - starts_with: string (case-sensitive prefix)
  - limit: integer (max 10000)
  - history: boolean (include dropped schemas)
  - terse: boolean (subset columns only)
  - role, warehouse, timeout: string/integer (optional)

3. List Tables

Use SNOWFLAKE_SHOW_TABLES to discover tables with metadata including row counts, sizes, and clustering keys.
