DCM Projects (General availability)

Cortex Agents and MCP servers in Snowflake Native Apps are now generally available. Providers can create the following objects in an app’s setup script: Apps can also use inter-app communication so that one app’s agent calls another app’s agent or MCP server.
Tag automations (Beta)
Tag automations are now in Beta . A tag automation assigns or removes governed tags on the Unity Catalog tables or volumes that match conditions you define, so tags stay accurate as your data and metadata change.
Change data feed on materialized views (Beta)
You can now read a change data feed from a materialized view created in a Lakeflow pipeline or in Databricks SQL, using Databricks Runtime 18 LTS or above. Use this to replicate materialized view changes to destinations outside Databricks, or to keep a history of materialized view changes for auditing and reporting.
ai_search function (Beta)
The ai_search() SQL function retrieves information from one or more AI Search indexes configured as knowledge sources. Given a natural-language query, the function generates optimized search queries, retrieves and deduplicates results across sources, reranks them by relevance, and returns the most relevant documents.
