X

Purpose

Use the user's X account: post and delete tweets, search recent tweets, like tweets, and send DMs. Use when the user mentions X, Twitter, or tweets.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/x.py:

bin/x.py auth                                     # verify the OAuth token
bin/x.py post --text "hello world"                # post a tweet
bin/x.py search --query "AI agents" --limit 10    # search recent tweets
bin/x.py like --tweet-id 1234567890              # like a tweet (resolves your user ID first)
bin/x.py dm --user-id 1234567890 --text "hello"  # send a DM
bin/x.py delete --tweet-id 1234567890            # delete a tweet

Liking a tweet needs your numeric user ID: the CLI resolves it via /2/users/me before calling /2/users/{id}/likes, so you never have to pass it yourself.

Auth

• Provider id: x (credential is collected as custom.x)
• Collection: provider OAuth (OAuth2 PKCE) via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); authorize URL https://x.com/i/oauth2/authorize, token URL https://api.x.com/2/oauth2/token
• Required scopes: tweet.read, tweet.write, users.read, like.read, like.write, dm.read, dm.write, offline.access
• Allowed hosts: api.x.com
• Status check: bin/x.py auth (must return "ok": true)
• Cost warning: X has no usable free read tier. The free tier is write-only (about 500 posts a month, about 100 reads a month). Anything beyond basic writes needs a paid tier or the newer pay-per-use pricing (roughly $0.005 per read, $0.01 per post), which is the sane path for a personal assistant. Post and delete stay cheap under either plan.

Operating Rules

1. post, like, dm, and delete are writes: confirm the exact text and target with the user before running, unless standing permission exists.
2. Reading (auth, search) needs no confirmation, but keep search usage modest: every search call is a billed read.
3. X rate-limits by endpoint and tier; back off on 429s.
4. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.
