Build or rebuild the context's index from its sources
Curate the staged sources under the active manifest. Required before querying — there is no auto-curate. Body is optional; force: true rebuilds fully, which is what a manifest edit needs. Search contexts only: a work context builds via work/groom.

Section titled “Authorizations”AuthorizationstringrequiredSession token from POST /auth/login, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Headers
Section titled “Headers”X-Pinecone-Api-Version?stringDate-based contract version, echoed back on the same header. Omit for the default (2026-07); send unstable for the in-development surface. An unrecognized value is rejected with 400 unsupported_api_version.
Path Parameters
Section titled “Path Parameters”slugstringrequiredContext slug or UUID.
force?booleanFull rebuild rather than incremental
batch_size?integerHow many sources curate reads per pass.
scope?stringCurate scope recorded on the task input
trigger?stringProvenance label recorded on the task input
model?stringModel-id override for the curate runtime
pinecone_api_key?stringTask-token override; normally not needed
Response
Section titled “Response”200 — Curate enqueued (state: importing)
What every context-workflow trigger returns. The work is asynchronous: poll GET /tasks/{task_id}. The per-workflow booleans duplicate state and appear only where a workflow's contract names one.
task_idstringrequiredThe enqueued task. Poll it at GET /tasks/id.
statestringrequiredThe forward-looking status the trigger put the context into.
exploring?booleanDuplicates state; present only for explore
profiling?booleanDuplicates state; present only for profile
importing?booleanDuplicates state; present only for the import/curate triggers
