Which models are best for this skill?

The grok-4-1-fast model is highly recommended as it is specifically optimized for speed and efficient tool calling.

What is the primary advantage of xAI Agent Tools?

It manages the entire reasoning and tool-execution loop on the server side, eliminating the need for client-side handling of multiple tool invocations.

What tools are included in the xAI suite?

The suite currently supports x_search (Twitter/X), web_search, code_execution (Python sandbox), and document_search.

Can I control the costs of tool usage?

Yes, the skill supports cost-optimized patterns where you can set tool call budgets and limits within the agent's system prompt.

Data Science & ML

Enables autonomous tool calling for Grok models including X search, web search, and Python code execution.

About

This skill integrates the xAI Agent Tools API into Claude, allowing for server-side agentic workflows where Grok autonomously handles tool execution and reasoning loops. It bridges the gap between static LLM responses and real-time data by providing native access to Twitter/X posts, live web results, and a secure Python sandbox for data analysis. It is an essential capability for developers building complex research, financial analysis, or multi-step automated agents that require minimal client-side overhead and access to the latest social and web information.

Key Features
