Actions

What your agents can do in Pinecone

Search, add, read and delete vectors in a Pinecone index: similarity search by vector or by a stored record's ID, text search on indexes with integrated embedding, index statistics and the list of indexes in the project. One connection works with one index (its host); the key reaches every index in its project.

Look things up. Nothing changes.

  • List indexes

    Lists the indexes in the key's project, as indexes: each with its name, host (the address a connection uses), status (ready, state), deployment, deletion_protection and tags.

  • Get index statistics

    Returns the connected index's statistics: totalVectorCount, dimension, metric, vectorType and namespaces (each namespace's vectorCount).

  • Search by vector

    Finds the vectors most similar to a query, as matches (most similar first), each with id, score and, when asked, metadata and values.

  • Search by text

    Searches with plain text on an index that embeds text itself (an index created with integrated embedding), as result.hits: each with _id, _score and fields.

  • Get vectors by ID

    Reads up to 1,000 vectors by ID, as vectors: an object keyed by ID, each with id, values and metadata.

  • List vector IDs

    Lists vector IDs in a namespace, up to 100 a page, in sorted order, as vectors (each an id).

Write 2

Create, change or send.

  • Add or replace vectors

    Writes up to 1,000 vectors, as upsertedCount.

  • Delete vectorsDeletes data

    Permanently deletes vectors from one namespace: the listed ids (up to 1,000), or every vector matching a metadata filter like {"doc_id".

A person can approve first

Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything. Actions that delete data ask first by default.

Connection

How it connects

Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.

API key

Paste an API key from your Pinecone account.

What you enter

  • API key

Settings

  • Index host

Kept safe

  • Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
  • They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
  • Calls go only to the tool's own servers.

How we protect your data

Ideas

Ideas to start with

Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.

  • 01

    Ask about your Pinecone data

    Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list indexes, get index statistics or search by vector in Pinecone, then answers with what it found.

  • 02

    Let an agent update Pinecone

    Have the agent add or replace vectors or delete vectors in Pinecone as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.

  • 03

    Share what it finds in Slack

    Give one agent Pinecone and Slack: it can list indexes in Pinecone and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.

FAQ

Pinecone and MyDeepAgents

Can MyDeepAgents connect to Pinecone?

Yes. The Pinecone connector has 8 actions: 6 read and 2 make changes. Your agents can call them as tools, and your workflows can run them as steps.

How do I connect Pinecone?

Paste an API key from your Pinecone account. You'll need: API key. The connection also asks for: Index host. Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys and are opened only at the moment of a call.

Can an agent change data in Pinecone without asking?

Only if you let it. Each of the 2 actions that change data can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, and the one that deletes data asks first by default.

Can I use Pinecone in workflows as well as agents?

Yes. Every Pinecone action also works as a step in a workflow, and the same connection serves your agents and your workflows.
