Constraints

Prerequisites: an X account and access to Grok Bot. Public read operations require no extra setup. To read or manipulate your own bookmarks, likes, lists, DMs, live streams, or article drafts, connect the X plugin in Grok Bot chat and authorize with your X account. Reading DMs additionally requires entering your Chat PIN locally via a secure form for end-to-end decryption. Cost: free. Rate limits: 30 calls/minute, 1,000 calls/day (resets at 00:00 UTC), with a typical max of 25 items per response.

What they did

Author cavalzheng published an X Article that systematically inventories 96 X tools built into Grok Bot, dividing them into public read (13 read-only tools, no connection needed) and connected account (83 read/write tools, X plugin required) channels. The article details each module's capabilities, rate limits, current limitations, and nine practical usage examples.

How it went

The author reports (author_report) that these tools are "completely free," included in Grok Bot with no need to purchase API credits or create an X developer app. Typical usage such as a weekly summary consumes only a few dozen calls, well under the 1,000/day limit.

Worth knowing

Tool count and specific endpoints may change as the product evolves; the source does not specify which underlying model version Grok Bot uses. Posting, replying, reposting, liking, following/unfollowing, and blocking are currently unavailable. Scheduling a live stream requires X Premium or 1,000+ followers to actually go live. Long-form articles can only be drafted; publishing must be confirmed manually on X. DMs are end-to-end encrypted and can only be decrypted locally with a Chat PIN—there is no workaround. Responses are generally capped at 25 items, so large datasets may need batching. This site has not tested these capabilities; actual availability depends on the current Grok Bot version.

Steps

  1. Connect the X plugin in Grok Bot (if needed)

    Open Grok Bot chat. If you only need to search public posts, look up user profiles, or check trends and news, skip this step and proceed directly. To access or operate your bookmarks, likes, lists, DMs, live streams, or article drafts, find the X plugin entry in chat, connect it, and log in with your X account. For reading DMs, the system will prompt you to enter your Chat PIN locally through a secure form for end-to-end decryption—do not paste the PIN into the chat.

  2. Describe your task in natural language

    Tell Grok Bot what you want to do. Examples: "Summarize my liked and bookmarked posts this week," "Organize my bookmarks into folders by topic," "Alert me when @handle posts or gets high engagement," "Track daily post volume for 'AI agents' over the last 7 days," "Summarize my unread DMs and message requests," or "Schedule a live stream for next Wednesday at 8 PM." Grok Bot will invoke the relevant X tools. All write operations (e.g., adding bookmarks, sending DMs, scheduling streams) execute only upon your explicit request and will recap the intended changes for your confirmation before proceeding.
