Observability and IP Protection for Cortex Agents in Snowflake Native Apps

Observability for Cortex Agents in Snowflake Native Apps now includes enhanced data protection and telemetry sharing capabilities. Imagine you build a native app that runs AI agents and needs to log execution events without exposing sensitive orchestrator-authored content.

Use cases

• Protect intellectual property when logging agent execution events.
• Share agent telemetry between native app providers and consumers.

How to use

Telemetry sharing is controlled via the app's event-sharing configuration:

-- The consumer enables event sharing in the application
CALL my_app.core.enable_event_sharing();

What happens in this code:

1. The consumer enables event sharing for the app.
2. The provider receives agent telemetry at the default AI_METADATA level.
3. Optionally, the consumer can approve the SHARE_AI_OBSERVABILITY_CONTENT specification to upgrade to the AI_CONTENT level.

Limitations and requirements

• Available for Snowflake Native Apps using Cortex Agents.
• Intellectual property protection automatically redacts orchestrator-authored content before writing consumer event-table records.
• The advanced AI_CONTENT telemetry level requires explicit consumer approval of the app specification.
