Frequently asked questions
What can I automate with Pinecone on Definable?
Anything Pinecone exposes through its API. Common artificial intelligence workflows on Definable include route to the best model per task, mix providers in one workflow, fall back on rate-limits. Personas can call any of the 48 Pinecone tools directly, then chain the result into another integration without you writing code.
How does Pinecone authentication work?
Pinecone uses API_KEY, OAUTH2 on Definable. You connect once from the integrations page, scoped to the permissions you choose, and from then on any persona that has the integration enabled can act on your behalf. Tokens are encrypted at rest and rotated automatically.
Is the Pinecone integration included in my Definable plan?
Yes — every Definable plan, including Starter, includes access to all 48 Pinecone tools. You only need a separate Pinecone subscription if Pinecone itself charges per seat or per API call.
Is using Pinecone through Definable secure?
Every call from a persona to Pinecone is logged with the user, persona, prompt, and response. Tokens never leave Definable's secrets vault, scopes are configurable per persona, and you can revoke access at any time from the integration page.
How do I get started with Pinecone on Definable?
Sign up for Definable, open the integrations page, find Pinecone, and connect via OAuth or API key. You can immediately attach Pinecone to any persona and start running workflows. The free Starter plan includes 5,000 credits/month.
What Pinecone actions does Definable expose?
Definable exposes all 48 Pinecone actions as callable tools — including `Cancel Bulk Import`, `Chat with Assistant`, `Chat with Assistant`, plus 45 more. Each tool gets a typed parameter schema so personas know exactly how to call it.
