Delta Sharing Inquiry: Requests from Databricks SQL Editor

Hi, I am trying to test our delta sharing server using UC in our workspace.
We noticed that when we execute a query, for example: SELECT COUNT(1) FROM table_name WHERE col1 = 'value' , it sends two /query requests to our server. The first request has empty predicateHints and limitHints while the second request contains the predicateHints from there WHERE clause. What's the purpose of the first request? We were also wondering if we could ignore the first request. Thanks
