| name | agentx |
| description | Drive X/Twitter from the CLI (read, post, DM, lists, communities, Grok, scheduling, analytics). Use when an agent needs to read or act on X/Twitter. Every command prints one JSON envelope. |
agentx — X/Twitter agent control surface
agentx is a single Go binary. Every command prints one JSON envelope to stdout, so parse stdout as JSON and check .ok. Build: go build -o agentx ./cmd/agentx.
Envelope (always this shape)
{"ok":true,"schema_version":"1","data":<any>,"pagination":{"nextCursor":"…"},"rateLimit":{…}}
{"ok":false,"schema_version":"1","error":{"code":"…","message":"…"}}
Rules: check .ok first. List data → .data is an array + .pagination.nextCursor. Single object → .data is an object. On error read .error.code (machine) + .error.message (human). Exit code ≠0 on error. Output is compact single-line JSON by default (token-efficient); add --pretty only when a human reads it.
Setup (once)
agentx account add --name NAME --auth-token <auth_token> --ct0 <ct0>
Cookies come from a logged-in browser (auth_token + ct0). Env fallback: TWITTER_AUTH_TOKEN, TWITTER_CT0. Store: $AGENTX_HOME/accounts.json (default ~/.agentx, mode 0600). Multi-account: add several, pick with -a NAME. account login --name N --username U (pass via $TWITTER_PASSWORD) does user/pass→cookies but X blocks login from datacenter IPs — prefer cookies.
Global flags (may precede or follow the subcommand)
-a NAME account · -n N max items · --cursor C page cursor · --pretty human-readable JSON · --account/--count long forms.
IDs: any <id> also accepts a full tweet/list/community URL. Handles: with or without @.

Pagination
List commands return .pagination.nextCursor. Pass it back via --cursor for the next page. -n N caps items in the response (note: the cursor still points past the full fetched page, so for exact paging use the cursor, not a tiny -n).
Error codes (.error.code)
not_authenticated bad/expired cookies · not_found · invalid_input · rate_limited (see .rateLimit) · query_id_error X rotated a GraphQL id → set AGENTX_QID_<Operation>=<id> env or update constants · network_error · api_error x.com rejected (message has detail) · account_error.
Gotchas
- Premium-gated (work only on X Premium accounts; routing is correct, x.com returns a clear error otherwise):
edit, note/long-form post (>280), bookmarks folder writes.
- Account-eligibility:
community create needs an eligible account.
- likers: X returns the liker list only to the tweet's author; empty for others (retweeters is public).
- grok image: needs image-gen quota (free tier is limited/daily); errors clearly when the quota is spent.
- DM: only classic (unencrypted) DMs via
dm send/list/download. X's new XChat is end-to-end encrypted and out of scope (keys are device-only, non-extractable).
- Rate limit:
.rateLimit carries x-rate-limit-*; back off when remaining is low.
AGENTX_UTLS=1 sends a Chrome JA3 TLS fingerprint (HTTP/2) for stealth.- Writes are real and public — confirm intent before posting/following/etc.
Typical flows
- Read a user's latest:
agentx posts elonmusk -n 20
- Reply:
agentx reply <id> "nice" · Quote with image: agentx quote <id> "look" --media pic.jpg
- Thread:
agentx post --thread "long text…" · Poll: agentx poll "Q?" --option A --option B
- Schedule:
agentx schedule +2h "later" then agentx scheduled
- Ask Grok:
agentx grok "USD to IDR today?" · Image: agentx grok image "a dragon" --out d.png
- Paginate:
agentx feed -n 40 → take nextCursor → agentx feed --cursor <c>
