snowflake-connection

snowflake-connection is a skill for Claude Code from sfc-gh-dflippo/snowflake-dbt-demo. It costs 53 tokens per session (888 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A connection setup guide for Snowflake, a cloud database, that helps choose the correct sign-in method for your identity provider.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps configure or repair Snowflake connections for browser sign-in, passwords with multi-factor authentication, automated jobs, key-pair access, service principals, and existing tokens.
Why use it?
It prevents using the wrong sign-in method, especially when Microsoft Entra ID or another OIDC provider is mistaken for SAML single sign-on.

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

snowflake-connection 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 2d 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 — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Snowflake target connection

scai opens Snowflake through Snowflake.Data. Pick the authenticator that matches the identity provider. Do not guess; ask if the user is unsure.

When to use which authenticator

Situation Authenticator Notes
Microsoft Entra ID, Azure AD, or any OIDC IdP oauth_authorization_code Browser PKCE flow. Required for Entra.
Snowflake SAML SSO / classic IdP SSO externalbrowser Do not use this for Entra OIDC.
Password + MFA omit / username_password_mfa Existing default.
Programmatic access token programmatic_access_token Headless / CI.
Key-pair snowflake_jwt Headless / CI.
Token already in hand (SPCS) oauth Non-interactive.
Service principal oauth_client_credentials Non-interactive.

If a connection using externalbrowser fails with an OIDC / Entra / AADSTS error, switch it to oauth_authorization_code. Do not keep retrying SAML.

Full field reference: Snowflake.SnowConvertDesktop/Snowflake.SnowConvert.Cli/docs/entra-oidc-oauth.md.

Entra / OIDC (oauth_authorization_code)

Requires a desktop session (system browser + loopback listener). Refuse it in containers, CI, or headless Linux (DISPLAY / WAYLAND_DISPLAY unset). Suggest PAT or key-pair instead.

Required connections.toml keys:

  • account, useruser is required so Snowflake.Data can cache and refresh tokens
  • authenticator = "oauth_authorization_code"
  • oauth_client_id, oauth_client_secret
  • oauth_scope — forwarded verbatim; do not trim or reorder
  • oauth_authorization_url and oauth_token_request_url — both HTTPS, set together
  • oauth_redirect_urirequired whenever those external endpoints are set. Fixed absolute loopback URI registered exactly in Entra (scheme, host, port, path). Example: http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Do not omit oauth_redirect_uri for Entra. The connector's random-port 127.0.0.1 callback is not Entra-compatible (localhost any-port does not apply to 127.0.0.1).
