Security & Permissions
What this skill does:
- Sends chat prompts to xAI's API at
api.x.ai
- Vision mode sends images to xAI for analysis
scripts/models.js lists available models (read-only)
What this skill does NOT do:
- Does not read arbitrary local files —
--image only accepts files with image extensions (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp)
- Does not read config files or access the filesystem beyond the specified image path
- Does not store conversation history or logs
- Does not send credentials to any endpoint other than
api.x.ai
- Cannot be invoked autonomously by the agent (
disable-model-invocation: true)
Bundled scripts: scripts/chat.js (chat), scripts/models.js (list models), scripts/search-x.js (X search)
Review scripts before first use to verify behavior.
