Explanation

Snowflake Tags are a data governance feature that allows users to assign key-value metadata labels to Snowflake objects (tables, columns, users, etc.). Tags support compliance workflows by enabling sensitive data discovery (finding all columns tagged as PII, for example), protection (triggering masking policies based on tag values), and resource usage tracking (monitoring which tagged objects are being queried). Comments are free-text annotations but provide no governance or policy enforcement capability. Internal tokenization is not a native Snowflake feature name. Row access policies control which rows a user can see but are not designed for broad data tracking and discovery across the account.
