Data lineage for Cortex Agents
Snowflake adds data lineage for Cortex Agents, showing how tables, semantic views, and search services connect to agents.
You can now use data lineage to see which data a Cortex Agent can reach through the tools declared in its specification. A semantic view that a Cortex Analyst tool references, and a Cortex Search service that a Cortex Search tool references, both appear upstream of the agent. Because a semantic view is itself downstream of the tables it references, you can trace the whole path from a table, through the semantic view, to the agent that consumes it.

CoCo Desktop v1.21.2
Snowflake CoCo Desktop v1.21.2 adds new chart types for query results, makes automation creation more flexible with local or cloud options, and improves session reliability and startup stability on managed machines.
CoCo Desktop v1.21.2 adds new ways to visualize query results and create automations, and fixes reliability problems in long-running sessions and at startup on managed machines:
- Four new chart types: table and data_frame for tabular output, horizontal_bar_chart for ranked lists and long category names, and vega_lite_spec for charts the built-in types don't cover, such as heatmaps, box plots, and layered or faceted charts.
- Choose local or cloud when creating an automation: + New asks which kind of automation you want instead of following the active tab, and cloud automation titles are validated as you type.
- Redesigned restricted session scope dialog: Read-only and named scopes share one selection flow that matches Snowsight, with role search matches highlighted and cancellable creation.

Cortex Extension references in agent skills (General availability)
Snowflake adds general availability for referencing Cortex Extensions from agent skills with automatic member skill expansion and centralized access control.
Referencing a Cortex Extension from an agent skill is now generally available. Set the skill source type to CORTEX_EXTENSION and path to the extension's fully qualified name, and Snowflake expands the reference into the extension's member skills at request time, so you don't list each skill individually. Updates to the extension flow to every agent that references it, and access is controlled by the READ privilege on the extension object.

Original sourcecode_toolset_alltool type to a Cortex Agent, and Snowflake provisions and manages a sandbox backed by the same runtime that powers Snowflake CoCo: bash, file read/write/edit, grep, glob, web search, SQL execution, and skills.
