api-vector-db-pinecone SKILL.md skillA
api-vector-db-pinecone from agents-inc/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add agents-inc/skills/api-vector-db-pinecone@git:20261016.afd0e14Pins git:20261016.afd0e14 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Pinecone serverless vector database -- index management, vector operations, metadata filtering, namespaces, hybrid search, inference API.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Pinecone Patterns
> **Quick Guide:** Use `@pinecone-database/pinecone` (v7.x) for serverless vector database operations. Target indexes by host (`pc.index({ host })`), not by name. Use namespaces for multi-tenant isolation (physically separate, cheaper queries). Batch upserts at 200 records (max 1,000 or 2 MB). Metadata is limited to 40 KB per record with flat key-value pairs only (no nested objects). Pinecone is eventually consistent -- vectors may not appear in queries immediately after upsert. Use `describeIndexStats()` to verify indexing progress. For hybrid search, use `dotproduct` metric with sparse+dense vectors in a single index.

## CRITICAL: Before Using This Skill
**(You MUST target indexes by host URL, not by name -- `pc.index({ host })` is the v7 API; `pc.index('name')` is deprecated)**
**(You MUST batch upserts to max 1,000 records or 2 MB per request -- exceeding either limit causes a 400 error)**
**(You MUST use flat key-value metadata only -- nested objects, null values, and keys starting with `$` are rejected by Pinecone)**

How to install
mdr add agents-inc/skills/api-vector-db-pinecone@sha256:6e551623346260c5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.afd0e14, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
