Let any AI agent take governed actions in Snowflake

Snowflake is the cloud data platform for analytics and the enterprise warehouse. Upware lets your agents act in it safely — deterministic, policy-bounded, and fully audited, without changing the system.

The problem

Why agents stall at Snowflake

Snowflake gives you a fast, scalable place to land and query data. What it does not give you is a safe way to let an AI agent roam inside it. Row-level security, column masking, and cost controls exist for good reason, but an unharnessed agent can issue unbounded queries that expose regulated fields, blow through compute credits, or write results back to tables that were never meant to receive them. Governed execution means the agent runs only the queries it is authorized to run, respects masking and RLS exactly as your policies define them, and leaves a complete audit trail every time it touches your warehouse.

Governed access
Tables carry row- and column-level security and masking; an agent querying broadly can leak regulated data.
Reads aren't free or safe
Unbounded queries cost real money and can expose data the requester shouldn't see.
Write-back risk
Writing results back into operational tables needs schema-aware, policy-bounded control.

The harness

AI to learn. Deterministic to execute.

Upware learns the process once and encodes it as a mostly-deterministic workflow: system interactions replay exactly, and any LLM steps are wrapped in policy, verification, and audit — so execution stays governed and drift-proof.

O
Observe & Learn
Records the real workflow once, across every system it touches.
G
Generate
Builds the API, data flow, and logic automatically — no integration project.
E
Encapsulate
Wraps it as a governed AI skill over secure MCP or API.
R
Run
Executes deterministically — RBAC, audit, and scale built in.
FAQ

Common questions

How does Upware prevent an AI agent from over-reading sensitive columns or rows in Snowflake?
Upware encapsulates each Snowflake interaction as a governed AI skill with a fixed, pre-approved query scope. The agent never writes freeform SQL against your warehouse. Every query is deterministic and policy-bounded, so row-level security and column masking inherited from your Snowflake roles apply exactly as configured. RBAC inside Upware adds a second layer, ensuring only agents and users with the right role can invoke a given skill at all.
Can Upware help an agent write results back to Snowflake safely, not just read from it?
Yes. Write-back is one of the higher-risk actions in any data warehouse, and Upware handles it by encapsulating the write as a schema-aware skill that targets only approved tables with a validated payload shape. The agent cannot deviate from the approved destination or structure. Every write is logged in the Upware audit trail, so you have a full record of what was written, by which agent, and under which policy.
We already have Snowflake's own access controls. Why do we need Upware on top of them?
Snowflake's native controls are excellent, but they do not govern how an AI agent chooses what to query or how often. An agent calling Snowflake directly through a generic integration can still issue expensive, broad queries that your Snowflake roles technically permit, accumulate costs you did not anticipate, or chain multiple queries together in ways your security team never reviewed. Upware sits in front of that interaction as an action infrastructure layer, turning the permissible-but-dangerous space into a set of explicit, auditable actions the agent can actually execute.
