GitHubxAI Web Search
Use this skill for web-backed answers through the Grok-connected xAI Responses web_search tool.
Preferred Grok Tool Flow
- Use
search_toolto discover the available tool schema first:
{
"query": "xai web search"
}
- Call the returned xAI web-search MCP tool with the schema it reports. A typical payload is:
{
"prompt": "Find the latest xAI model announcement and summarize it with citations."
}
Options
prompt: required search question.model: optional Grok model, only when supported and needed.
Return a concise answer and include citations from the tool output when available. If the tool is unavailable, say so and use the host's normal web/search tools only if the user still wants a fallback.
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.
