Cortex Extension references in agent skills (General availability)
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.
Cortex Agents Coding Agent (General availability)
The Cortex Agents Coding Agent is now generally available. Add the code_toolset_all tool 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.
Organization user types (General availability)
With this release, you can specify whether an organization user represents a person or a service. Set the TYPE property to SERVICE for a service or application that interacts with Snowflake without human interaction. If you don't specify a type, the organization user is a PERSON user, which matches the previous behavior.
Semantic Studio (Preview)
Semantic Studio is now available in public preview for all accounts. Semantic Studio is the authoring environment for semantic views in Workspaces, combining conversational authoring with CoCo, direct YAML editing, and deployment to the live Snowflake object in a single surface.
