01

Operator ships a SPA that calls /query directly with PINECONE_API_KEY in browser JavaScript.

Project-scoped API keys must never reach the browser — they grant full read/write across all namespaces in the project. Proxy through an operator-owned backend that scopes namespace by authenticated user. Rotate any key that touched a client bundle.

Sustained traffic hits per-project QPS cap; queries start returning 429.

Honor retry-after header; apply exponential backoff with jitter; cap retry count. Treat 429 as backpressure — shed load upstream rather than burst-retry. Verify per-tier numerics against database-limits docs [REQUIRES-VERIFICATION].

03

Operator stores user_email and SSN in vector metadata for filtering.

Metadata appears in query responses, logs, and is replicated with vectors. Do not store raw PII — replace with non-reversible identifiers (user_uuid, tenant_id) and look up PII in operator-owned identity store. SSN must never leave the identity vault.
