Create Catalog Connection
Tool to create a new Unity Catalog connection to external data sources. Use when you need to establish connections to databases and services such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, etc. Requires metastore admin privileges or CREATE CONNECTION privilege on the metastore.
Why this helps

- Keep connection requests traceable
- Standardize onboarding

Questions about this workflow
Can secrets be included in the webhook?
Use your approved secure mechanism and avoid placing secrets in ordinary message text or logs.
What if required connection details are missing?
