pinecone-query

A text-search skill for Pinecone integrated indexes. Pinecone is a hosted search database, and an integrated index includes a built-in model that turns text into searchable representations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run natural-language searches against an integrated Pinecone index through the Pinecone MCP server, provided the required API key and server setup are available.
Why use it?
It lets you search records with ordinary text without creating the search representations yourself. It is limited to integrated indexes and is not intended for custom vectors or advanced vector operations.

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

pinecone-query 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 yesterday.

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.

Pinecone Query Skill

Search for records in Pinecone integrated indexes using natural language text queries via the Pinecone MCP server.

Whenever this skill asks the user to choose between options, confirm a destructive step, or pick from a list, ask in plain prose, list the options, and wait for their answer before continuing.

What is this skill for?

This skill provides a simple way to query integrated indexes (indexes with built-in Pinecone embedding models) using text queries. The MCP server automatically converts your text into embeddings and searches the index.

Prerequisites

Required:

  1. Pinecone MCP server must be configured - Check if MCP tools are available
  2. PINECONE_API_KEY environment variable must be set - Get a free API key at https://app.pinecone.io/?sessionType=signup
  3. Index must be an integrated index - Uses Pinecone embedding models (e.g., multilingual-e5-large, llama-text-embed-v2, pinecone-sparse-english-v0)

When NOT to use this skill

Use the pinecone-cli skill instead if:

  • ❌ Your index is a standard index (no integrated embedding model)
  • ❌ You need to query with custom vector values (not text)
  • ❌ You need advanced vector operations (fetch by ID, list vectors, bulk operations)
  • ❌ Your index uses third-party embedding models (OpenAI, HuggingFace, Cohere)

MCP Limitation: The Pinecone MCP currently only supports integrated indexes. For all other use cases, use the pinecone-cli skill.

How it works

Utilize Pinecone MCP's search-records tool to search for records within a specified Pinecone integrated index using a text query.

Workflow

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, verify the Pinecone MCP tools are available. If MCP tools are not accessible:

  • Inform the user that the Pinecone MCP server needs to be configured
  • Check if PINECONE_API_KEY environment variable is set
  • Direct them to the MCP setup documentation or the pinecone-help skill
  1. Parse the user's input for:
    • query (required): The text to search for.
    • index (required): The name of the Pinecone index to search.
    • namespace (optional): The namespace within the index.
    • reranker (optional): The reranking model to use for improved relevance.
