Data Contract Governance Agent

Data Contract Governance Agent is an AI agent on Snowflake that onboards new data products safely. A data owner submits a data contract. The agent routes it to the right governance track (standard, financial or regulated lab), lists every gap with its rule ID, checks whether the data was actually written by an instrument, a person or an AI, and drafts the fixes. A named data steward approves, and only then are masking policies and tags applied and the data promoted to production. The problem: onboarding a regulated data product takes about three weeks (our estimate) of back-and-forth across lab, governance, security and engineering teams. Owners and SLAs are missing, patient IDs are unmasked, and a new risk has appeared: AI-generated values can enter pipelines labeled as instrument data, with nobody checking. Design principle: the AI drafts, fixed code enforces, and people decide. Routing is deterministic, fixes come only from vetted templates (Claude never writes SQL), and the agent can never approve its own work. Every action is logged with the model, agent and rule version. All data is synthetic. The agent governs how data is handled and never interprets lab values.
