What the skill teaches
Pinecone's skill for its command-line tool, pc, which the skill presents as the option when the MCP server is not enough: it covers every index type and full vector operations, while the MCP server handles only indexes with hosted embeddings. The agent learns how to install the CLI, sign in with a browser login, a service account or an API key, and run commands for indexes, vectors, namespaces, backups and organisation or project settings. It also shows querying with your own vectors, bulk metadata updates with a preview, backups before a migration and scripting in CI.
