CoCo Desktop v1.21.7
Snowflake's CoCo Desktop release adds chat-based automation management, simpler MCP controls, and Stop behavior that cancels full SQL runs.
CoCo Desktop v1.21.7 lets the agent manage your automations and makes MCP connections easier to control:
- Manage automations from chat: The agent can list, create, update, delete, and run local automations, and it asks for confirmation before every change.
- Redesigned MCP connection controls: Each MCP server has a single Connect/Disconnect button, and OAuth MCP servers ask you to sign in far less often.
- Stop cancels multi-statement SQL runs: Pressing Stop ends the whole run instead of continuing to the next statement.

Horizon Context (Preview)
Snowflake introduces Horizon Context in preview, extending Horizon Catalog to external platforms with metadata connectors, cross-platform lineage, and native editing of descriptions, tags, and contacts. New privileges let data stewards curate metadata without broad ownership access.
We're introducing Horizon Context in preview. Horizon Context extends Horizon Catalog beyond Snowflake. This preview includes the following capabilities:
- Metadata connectors. Connect Horizon Catalog to 18 sources, including Power BI, Tableau, dbt, Databricks, BigQuery, SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL. You can browse and search external assets, trace column-level lineage across platforms, and manage tags and descriptions in Horizon Catalog. For more information, see connectors.
- External metadata management. Manage external metadata natively in Horizon Catalog, such as editing descriptions and applying tags and contacts directly to Power BI and Tableau dashboards.
- Metadata-only editing access. The APPLY COMMENT privilege lets data stewards curate descriptions without MODIFY or OWNERSHIP. External metadata management has its own privileges and doesn't require the ACCOUNTADMIN role. For more information, see access control.

LISTING_ACCESS_HISTORY improvements (General availability)
Snowflake now provides generally available query-type and predicate-level details in LISTING_ACCESS_HISTORY, helping listing providers understand how consumers query shared data, including data unloads and filtering by date or timestamp.
Predicate-level detail and query types in the LISTING_ACCESS_HISTORY view are now generally available. These improvements help listing providers understand how consumers query their shared data:
- The QUERY_TYPE column identifies supported consumer query types, including data unloads.
- The SHARE_OBJECTS_ACCESSED column includes groupByObjects, aggregateObjects, and filterObjects arrays that identify columns used for grouping, aggregation, and filtering. For date and timestamp columns, filter details also include predicate values so providers can analyze how far back consumers query their data.
