How do I delete vectors from Pinecone?
Short answer: Drop the "Pinecone → Delete Pinecone Vectors" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Vector IDs (JSON array) ids | string | Optional | Array of vector IDs to delete |
Namespace namespace | string | Optional | Namespace. Example: default |
Delete All deleteAll | options | Optional | Delete all vectors in the namespace |
Sample request
{"ids": "[\"doc1\", \"doc2\"]","namespace": "e.g. default","deleteAll": "{{trigger.deleteAll}}"}
Returns
{"success": true}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Delete Pinecone Vectors.
What does the Delete Pinecone Vectors action do in Pinecone?
Removes vectors by ID list, by metadata filter, or by namespace. For "user churned → delete all their vectors" tenant-isolation workflows.
What inputs does Delete Pinecone Vectors require?
Delete Pinecone Vectors has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Pinecone returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Delete Pinecone Vectors support batch operations?
Yes. Run Delete Pinecone Vectors inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Pinecone's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.

Action
Describe Pinecone Index
Returns the index's dimension, metric, host, status. Useful for "is the index ready?" pre-flight checks before query workflows.
ActionDescribe Pinecone Index Stats
Returns vector count by namespace. Useful for capacity planning and for "did the bulk insert succeed?" post-operation verification.
ActionList Pinecone Indexes
Returns every index in the connected project. Useful for inventory and for resolving index names at workflow setup.
ActionQuery Pinecone Vectors
Returns top-k nearest vectors with scores and metadata, optionally filtered by metadata. The standard RAG retrieval call — fetch top vectors, pass metadata to LLM for grounded answers.
ActionUpsert Pinecone Vectors
Batch-inserts up to 100 vectors with metadata and namespace. For bulk ingestion >100, pre-batch upstream. The standard "embed content → index in Pinecone" step.
