xAI X Search
Use this skill for X/Twitter search through the Grok-connected xAI Responses server-side x_search tool.
Preferred Grok Tool Flow
- Use
search_tool to discover the available tool schema first:
{
"query": "xai x search"
}
- Call the returned xAI X-search MCP tool with the schema it reports. A typical payload is:
{
"prompt": "Summarize recent posts from @xai about Grok releases.",
"allowed_x_handles": ["xai"]
}
Options
prompt: required X search request.allowed_x_handles: optional handles to include.excluded_x_handles: optional handles to exclude.
Do not pass both allowed_x_handles and excluded_x_handles in the same call.
Evidence Discipline
Treat X posts as leads or primary-source statements only when the account identity matters. Corroborate factual claims with independent web/docs/repo evidence before presenting them as settled facts.
Credential Safety
Use existing Grok/xAI credentials exposed by the host or MCP server. Never print, quote, summarize, or store OAuth tokens, refresh tokens, bearer tokens, or API keys.
