Correct way to check if True returning True else raise AirflowSkipException

I have the following custom Airflow Operator (Class) that is pretty much checking if a query returns True, if it does then it runs that task successfully and continue running the next task. If False, then it returns a SkipException. I also have a soft_fail set to True which also skips if False but in case someone forgets to add that in when using this operator I wanted to add it directly in the code.

Pythonically, is this an acceptable way of writing this if/else statement?

class SnowDataSensor(SqlSensor):
    def poke(self, context):
        hook = SnowflakeHook(warehouse='warehouse')

        self.log.info('Poking: %s', self.sql)
        record = hook.execute_query(self.sql)
        logging.info(f'record: {record}')

        if not record[0]:
            raise AirflowSkipException
        else:
            return True

This operator will be called like this as a task:

tables_sensor = SnowDataSensor(
        conn_id='snow_default',
        soft_fail=True,
        task_id=f'data_exists',
        mode='reschedule',
        poke_interval=60,  # 60 sec
        retries=1,
        retry_delay=timedelta(minutes=10),
        sql=f"""
    SELECT COUNT(*) > 0
    FROM table
    where _load_file_date >= '{{{{ ds }}}}'"""
    )
