Snowflake CLI

Operate Snowflake through the official snow CLI. Use the bundled wrapper for common connection, SQL, and object workflows; use the official CLI directly only when the wrapper does not cover a specialized command.

Requirements

• Require uv and Python 3.10 or later for automatic installation.
• Use the bundled wrapper for every operation. Before it runs a Snowflake command, it checks that snow --help succeeds and snow --version identifies Snowflake CLI; reject an unrelated or broken executable with the same name.
• If snow is missing, automatically run uv tool install snowflake-cli.
• After installation, resolve snow from PATH or the uv tool bin directory and verify it with snow --help.
• Run scripts/snowflake.sh check before the first operation to report the installed version.
• If uv is missing or the installed executable cannot be resolved, stop with a clear setup error. Do not silently fall back to system pip.
