FAQ

Does data leave my Snowflake account?

No. The app runs entirely inside your Snowflake account: auto tune, the web UI, every ACCOUNT_USAGE query, and every Cortex call. Zero outbound network calls.

What does the app actually cost to run?

Auto-tune and the web UI share one compute pool; the app's own warehouse (NATIVE_APP_WH) only spins up when the UI runs an ACCOUNT_USAGE query. Net savings comfortably outweigh that runtime cost. The first warehouse auto tune touches usually pays for the app many times over.

How does auto tune decide which warehouses to touch?

Only the ones you opt in to on the Warehouses page. Once opted in, it reacts within about a minute of that warehouse going idle. Flip the toggle off any time, no uninstall needed.

What Snowflake editions are supported?

Standard and above. Nothing requires Cortex to be enabled. AI Services simply has nothing to show if you're not using any Cortex AI features yet.

Can I uninstall and reinstall later?

Yes. DROP APPLICATION removes the app cleanly. Reinstalling restarts auto tune on whatever warehouses you re-opt in to.
