Count Vectors

Count documents in a vector store, optionally filtered by metadata.

Use Cases:

• Monitor vector store size and growth over time
• Preview the number of documents matching a filter before deletion
• Validate data ingestion by comparing expected versus actual document counts
• Analyze document distribution across metadata categories

Filtering: Apply the same metadata filter syntax as delete and list operations. Only indexed fields can be used for filtering. An empty filter counts all documents in the store.
