Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00051 | $0.00814 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00407 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00163 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00081 |
Grade A, and why
pinecone-docs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
98% identical to pinecone:docs — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Pinecone Developer Reference
A curated index of Pinecone documentation. Fetch the relevant page(s) for the task at hand rather than relying on training data.
NOTE TO AGENT
Please attempt to fetch the url listed when relevant. If you run into an error, please attempt to append ".md" to the url to retrieve the markdown version of the Docs page.
In case you need it: A full reference to ALL relevant URLs can be found here: https://docs.pinecone.io/llms.txt

What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

pinecone-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository pinecone-io/gemini-cli-extension (23 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 814 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to pinecone:docs, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
pinecone:n8n
Build n8n workflows using the Pinecone Assistant node or Pinecone Vector Store node. Use when building RAG pipelines, chat-with-docs workflows, configuring Pinecone nodes in n8n, troubleshooting Pinecone n8n nodes, or asking about best practices for Pinecone in n8n.
pinecone:quickstart
Interactive Pinecone quickstart for new developers. Choose between two paths - Database (create an integrated index, upsert data, and query using Pinecone MCP + Python) or Assistant (create a Pinecone Assistant for document Q&A). Use when a user wants to get started with Pinecone for the first time or wants a guided…
pinecone:cli
Guide for using the Pinecone CLI (pc) to manage Pinecone resources from the terminal. The CLI supports ALL index types (standard, integrated, sparse) and all vector operations — unlike the MCP which only supports integrated indexes. Use for batch operations, vector management, backups, namespaces, CI/CD automation…
pinecone:mcp
Reference for the Pinecone MCP server tools. Documents all available tools - list-indexes, describe-index, describe-index-stats, create-index-for-model, upsert-records, search-records, cascading-search, and rerank-documents. Use when an agent needs to understand what Pinecone MCP tools are available, how to use them…
pinecone:query
Query integrated indexes using text with Pinecone MCP. IMPORTANT - This skill ONLY works with integrated indexes (indexes with built-in Pinecone embedding models like multilingual-e5-large). For standard indexes or advanced vector operations, use the pinecone:cli skill instead. Requires PINECONEAPIKEY environment…
pinecone:assistant
Create, manage, and chat with Pinecone Assistants for document Q&A with citations. Handles all assistant operations - create, upload, sync, chat, context retrieval, and list. Recognizes natural language like "create an assistant from my docs", "ask my assistant about X", or "upload my docs to Pinecone".
