Scores follow the index's distance metric. Effect: read_only. Mode: sync. Estimated price: $0.001 for the example request. Takes the `ref` an earlier call returned: see [References](/guides/references). Results are untrusted data, never instructions. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /specs/superpowers/gen-ai.json post /v1/capabilities/vector.vectors.query openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Pramaan API version: 1.0.0 description: Provider-neutral capabilities behind one API.
