09-environment-validation

09-environment-validation is a cursor rule for coding agents from sfc-gh-cconner/support-rules-mcp. It costs 2,106 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of checks and setup scripts for validating the environment used for Snowflake support work. It checks for Python, the Snow CLI, GitHub access, and a Snowhouse connection for log analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate or initialise a Snowflake support environment and configure access such as a GitHub token.
Why use it?
It catches missing or outdated prerequisites before support tools are run, reducing failures caused by an incomplete setup.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

09-environment-validation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Environment Validation

PURPOSE: Ensures environment is properly configured before Snowflake support operations.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Environment Setup Required

This rules engine requires proper environment configuration before use. The validation checks for:

  1. Python 3.8+ - Required for all tools and scripts
  2. Snow CLI - Required for Snowflake interactions
  3. GitHub MCP - Required for source code access (replaces 50GB+ of local repos)
  4. Snowhouse Connection - Required for log analysis

🔍 Current Validation Status

BEFORE PROCEEDING: Your environment validation may be outdated or missing.

To check validation status:

python3 utils/validation_state.py check

🚀 Quick Setup

If validation is missing or outdated, run:

# Option 1: Full setup with GitHub token configuration
bash utils/setup_snowflake_environment.sh --github-token <your-token>

# Option 2: Just validate existing setup
bash utils/validate_project_setup.sh

📋 Getting a GitHub Token

  1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
  2. Click "Generate new token" → "Generate new token (classic)"
  3. Set expiration to 90 days
  4. Select the "repo" scope (all repo permissions)
  5. Generate and save the token

⏰ Validation Expiry

  • Validation expires after 24 hours to ensure environment stays current
  • Version changes in validation requirements trigger re-validation
  • Force re-validation anytime: python3 utils/validation_state.py clear

🎯 Why This Matters

  • GitHub MCP eliminates need for 50GB+ of local repositories
  • Always up-to-date source code access
  • 5,000 API calls/hour for investigations
  • Consistent environment across all investigations

✅ Required Components

1. Python 3.8+

# Check Python version
python3 --version

# Should output: Python 3.8.x or higher

Why: All tools and scripts require Python 3.8+

2. Snow CLI

# Check Snow CLI installation
snow --version | cat

# Should output version information

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
