warehouse_column_annotations

Read and edit semantic descriptions of warehouse tables and columns surfaced to the AI agent.

List can be filtered to one table with ?table_id=<uuid>. Any create or update is treated as a user edit (is_user_edited=True), which protects the row from being overwritten by automatic enrichment. Create upserts on (table, column_name); the table cannot be changed after creation.
