Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00065 | $0.02209 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.01104 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00442 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00221 |
Grade A, and why
materialize-snowflake-create 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 6d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 211 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Create Snowflake Materialization
Create a Snowflake materialization using flowctl to stream data from Estuary collections into Snowflake tables.
Applies to: materialize-snowflake
Step 0: Load Connector Documentation
Before proceeding, fetch the official connector docs for prerequisites, config reference, and setup instructions.
Load the docs page: https://docs.estuary.dev/reference/Connectors/materialization-connectors/Snowflake/
Use WebFetch to load this page. It covers:
- Prerequisites (role/user creation, key-pair setup, warehouse)
- Full config property reference
- Authentication setup (JWT key-pair)
- Advanced options (delta updates, Snowpipe Streaming, hard deletes, sync schedule)
Search Kapa for tribal knowledge (if the Estuary MCP is configured):
Search kapa ai knowledge sources for "materialize snowflake common issues"
If Kapa MCP is not configured, the user can set it up: https://docs.estuary.dev/features/mcp-integration/
This skill provides the flowctl workflow and troubleshooting that docs don't cover.
Step 1: Gather Requirements
Before writing any YAML, ask the user:
- Account URL? — Snowflake account identifier (e.g.,
xy12345.us-east-1.snowflakecomputing.com) - Database, schema, warehouse? — Target database, schema, and warehouse (optional — uses user's default if not specified)
- Authentication method? — Must be JWT/key-pair (Snowflake deprecated password auth April 2025)
- Timestamp type? — This is required. Help the user choose (see guidance below).
- Non-default data plane? — Most users use the default. Ask if they need a non-default data plane.
- Source collections? — Which Estuary collections to materialize
- Hard deletes? — Off by default. Without it, deleted rows stay in Snowflake marked with
_meta/op: 'd'. Enable to physically remove them. - Delta updates? — Off by default. Switches from one-row-per-key (standard merge) to append-only via Snowpipe Streaming. Use for event logs or history tables.
- Sync schedule? — Controls how often batches are written to Snowflake (default: 30 minutes,
0sfor real-time). Affects latency and warehouse cost.
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.

materialize-snowflake-create is a skill published in the GitHub repository estuary/agent-skills (7 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 2,209 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
