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.

Describe Pinecone Index
Returns the index's dimension, metric, host, status. Useful for "is the index ready?" pre-flight checks before query workflows.
Action
List Pinecone Indexes
Returns every index in the connected project. Useful for inventory and for resolving index names at workflow setup.
Action
Query 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.
Action
Upsert 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.
