Governed Context, Security and Spend Controls for AI Agents
Snowflake, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026
Snowflake announces governed business context, AI agent security and spend controls, including Business Ontology, at Expedition 2026.
Snowflake says enterprises now need to trust what AI agents say and do, including consistent business definitions, visibility into risky tool calls and budget limits on runaway agents.
Announcements extend Snowflake's control plane to agent actions, connections and spending on an open, interoperable foundation.
Business Ontology, coming soon in public preview as part of Snowflake Horizon Context, gives organizations one governed place to define core business concepts.
Cortex Sense finds context across data, and Semantic Views turn it into governed, consistent metrics.
