Get the context's manifest
The context’s pinned manifest document. A context with no pinned manifest returns {} — the runtime fills defaults. Writes go through the manifest field on PUT /contexts/{slug}.
Authorizations
Session token from POST /auth/login. Pass as Authorization: Bearer <token>. The alternative X-Pinecone-Api-Key header is also accepted for direct-key auth (used by the Nexus CLI on first contact).
Headers
Date-based contract version. Omit to resolve to the Nexus default version (2026-07, the oldest served version); send unstable for the in-development surface. The resolved version is echoed back on the same header. A present-but-unrecognized value is rejected with 400 unsupported_api_version.
Path Parameters
Context slug or UUID.
Response
The manifest document
The context manifest that drives curate and search. A sparse document — every field is optional and an omitted key falls back to the validator default, so absent fields are omitted rather than nulled. Value constraints are enforced by the write-side validator.
