description	Consult Snowflake CREATE PIPE parameter reference before generating any CREATE PIPE DDL.

Before writing a CREATE PIPE statement:

1. Read references/parameters.md to review all available parameters and their defaults.
2. For each parameter, decide whether the user's request implies a non-default value.
3. Include only the parameters that differ from the default or that the user explicitly requested — do not bloat the DDL with unnecessary clauses.
4. Never use CREATE OR REPLACE — always use CREATE PIPE IF NOT EXISTS.
5. The AS <copy_statement> clause is required; always generate a valid COPY INTO <table> FROM @<stage> statement as part of the pipe definition.
6. AUTO_INGEST = TRUE is required for fully automated Snowpipe ingestion from external stages; it requires cloud event notification setup (SQS for S3, Pub/Sub for GCS, Azure Event Grid for Azure).
7. For S3 auto-ingest, include AWS_SNS_TOPIC with the ARN of the SNS topic configured on the source bucket.
8. For GCS or Azure auto-ingest, include INTEGRATION referencing a notification integration.
9. ERROR_INTEGRATION is optional but recommended for production pipelines to route load errors to a notification channel.
10. Do not combine OR REPLACE and IF NOT EXISTS in the same statement — they are mutually exclusive.
