Token cost

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

preset-cortex-agents 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

preset-cortex-agents

Use for Snowflake Cortex Agent object management and run workflows.

Always

  • Account, auth, role, warehouse, database/schema, privilege, and safety context comes from preset-snowflake-cortex; consult it when that context is missing.
  • Prefer read-only list/describe before mutations.
  • Require confirmation of query, role, tools, budget, and output handling before any run.
  • Require rollback planning before create, update, replace, or delete.
  • Treat streamed events as sensitive; store redacted summaries unless raw output handling is approved.
  • Do not rely on pre-2025 Cortex Agent schemas.

Decision Rules

  • Distinguish list and describe from run, create, update, and drop operations.
  • Require approval for data-returning agent runs and mutations.
  • Preserve streaming output handling and redaction.
  • Require AUTOCOMMIT for SQL DDL workflows.

Workflow Order

  1. Verify Snowflake Cortex account, auth, role, warehouse, database, schema, and privilege context.
  2. List or describe agents first.
  3. Prepare run or mutation approval summary with tools, query, budget, and output handling.
  4. Stop before run, create, update, replace, or drop until approved.

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
