Returns
{"dimension": 1536,"namespaces": {"default": {"vectorCount": 10000}},"indexFullness": 0.1,"totalVectorCount": 10000}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Describe Pinecone Index Stats.
What does the Describe Pinecone Index Stats action do in Pinecone?
Returns vector count by namespace. Useful for capacity planning and for "did the bulk insert succeed?" post-operation verification.
What inputs does Describe Pinecone Index Stats require?
Describe Pinecone Index Stats 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 Describe Pinecone Index Stats support batch operations?
Yes. Run Describe Pinecone Index Stats inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Pinecone's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.

Action
Delete Pinecone Vectors
Removes vectors by ID list, by metadata filter, or by namespace. For "user churned → delete all their vectors" tenant-isolation workflows.
ActionDescribe Pinecone Index
Returns the index's dimension, metric, host, status. Useful for "is the index ready?" pre-flight checks before query workflows.
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.
