What can agents actually do with Pinecone?
Models and datasets are infrastructure now, and agents need eyes on them. The Pinecone connector is one of 205 executable connectors and gives agents 4 read-only tools, with the credential held in the vault and every call receipted.
The Pinecone tool list, exactly as agents see it
list_indexes— List the Pinecone indexes in this project, with their dimension, metric, host and readinessdescribe_index— Describe one Pinecone index by name (dimension, metric, host, readiness and serverless placement)list_collections— List the Pinecone collections (static index snapshots) in this projectdescribe_collection— Describe one Pinecone collection by name (status, dimension, vector count and size)
Every tool above is read-only. Write surfaces ship only after live testing, and always behind approval gates.
What the Pinecone connector needs
You provide API key from your Pinecone account; Quox sends it as an API key sent as a header. The credential is stored encrypted in the vault and resolved just-in-time, so agents use it without ever seeing it.
Where to get it: Pinecone's own API documentation ↗ covers creating and scoping the credential.
How proven is this?
Pinecone answers every unauthenticated request identically, so its endpoint paths rest on Pinecone's own published API reference (cited in the connector spec). The credential wire format was verified against the real host. Like every factory connector, it is Beta: it has not yet been run with a real credential.
Pinecone integration FAQ
What can Quox agents do with Pinecone?
Agents can run 4 read-only tools against Pinecone: list indexes, describe index, list collections, describe collection. Every call is receipted in the evidence trail.

Do agents see my Pinecone credentials?
No. Credentials live encrypted in the Quox vault and are resolved server-side at call time. Agents invoke tools; they never receive the underlying secret.
