Description
Real-time X/Twitter search powered by Grok-4. Find tweets, trends, and discussions with citations. Grok-4.20 also returns image results alongside tweet citat...
Usage Guidance
Before installing, understand that tweet-search prompts may be sent to xAI using your configured XAI_API_KEY. If you want tighter control, invoke it only with explicit X/Twitter search phrasing and keep the API key in a scoped local config or environment variable.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: search-x
Version: 1.2.1
The skill bundle provides a legitimate tool for searching X/Twitter via the xAI API. The core logic in scripts/search.js is well-structured, using standard Node.js modules to interact with the official api.x.ai endpoint. It retrieves the required API key from environment variables or a local configuration file (~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json) in a transparent manner. No malicious behaviors such as data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, or harmful prompt injection instructions were identified.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is searching X/Twitter through the xAI API, and the described script behavior matches that purpose.
Instruction Scope
The triggers include natural phrases such as "search x", "search twitter", and "find tweets"; these are purpose-aligned but may activate on ordinary tweet-search requests.
Install Mechanism
No unsafe install behavior was evidenced; the runtime appears to require Node.js and an xAI API key.
Credentials
Reading XAI_API_KEY from the environment or a local Clawdbot config is proportionate for an xAI integration and is disclosed by the supplied evidence.
Persistence & Privilege
No background persistence, privilege escalation, mutation authority, posting capability, or broad local indexing was evidenced.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install search-x - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/search-x - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
