As of now, there is no way to directly filter all the records using metadata fields while using [list()](https://docs.pinecone.io/docs/get-record-ids#paginate-through-results).  
Altough there’s a workaround, for more context [see](https://community.pinecone.io/t/fetching-listing-millions-of-records-with-metadata-filters/4854)

Having the ability to add filters while listing the records using something like $exists operator or something similar would be a quick way to filter records in inconsistent data.
