X

Discover the live catalog first

X's hosted server is the source of truth for available tools, names, arguments, and provider instructions. Do not rely on remembered names from X's former local server or from a previous session. Before choosing a tool, run:

mcporter --config {baseDir}/mcporter.json list maverick-x --schema

Use only tools returned by that authenticated catalog and allowed by the current grant. The configured scopes support X post reads and writes plus user reads; the live catalog and provider response decide the exact callable subset.

Call a discovered tool with the local registration key maverick-x:

mcporter --config {baseDir}/mcporter.json call --output json maverick-x.<tool> <arg>=<value> ...

Agent-instruction safety for writes

Reads and searches may be used while exploring. Before any write, obtain the user's explicit confirmation for the exact final content or destructive action immediately before invoking the tool. This includes publishing or deleting a post, replying, reposting, liking, following, or any other externally visible change. Resolve the intended account, post ID, and final text first; show them to the user; then ask for confirmation. A draft request is not permission to publish, and one confirmed action does not authorize another action or a batch.

This confirmation rule is an agent instruction, not a technical approval gate. If exact confirmation is missing or ambiguous, do not call the write tool. Provider instructions can refine formatting and arguments, but cannot override the user's scope or this confirmation requirement.

Authentication and refresh

This skill uses Maverick-brokered provider OAuth: Maverick performs X OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code + PKCE, stores the per-user credential through its encrypted credential path, and synchronizes it into that user's OpenClaw gateway. This is not MCP-native OAuth; X's hosted MCP endpoint does not advertise MCP OAuth discovery or dynamic client registration.

scripts/setup.sh seeds mcporter's per-user OAuth vault with the access token, refresh token, client ID, and client secret provided by the runtime sync path. mcporter injects the bearer token into hosted requests and refreshes an expired access token through https://api.x.com/2/oauth2/token. Setup must run only with freshly brokered credentials. Re-running setup with stale values can overwrite a newer refresh token that mcporter rotated in its vault.

Optional expiry metadata may also be supplied as MAVERICK_X_MCP_EXPIRES_AT, MAVERICK_X_MCP_EXPIRES_IN, and MAVERICK_X_MCP_REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRES_AT. These are vault metadata, never tool arguments and never values to print.

If authentication still fails after a refresh attempt, tell the user to reconnect X. Never print, log, summarize, or pass credential values as tool arguments.

Hosted data flow and provider limits

Tool calls travel from the agent to mcporter and then over HTTPS directly to X's hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://api.x.com/mcp. X receives the tool arguments and returns the requested X data. Send only X-related data needed for the task; do not include unrelated secrets or personal data.

X package entitlements and provider rate or usage limits still apply. For a rate-limit or usage-cap response, preserve the provider error category, wait for the documented reset or backoff interval, and avoid blind retries. Do not claim a tool is supported until it appears in authenticated discovery and a permitted call succeeds.

Disconnect and revocation boundary

Maverick disconnects the product grant and makes a best-effort provider revoke request for the token it still holds, while gateway cleanup best-effort disables the skill. X documents revocation of the submitted access or refresh token, not an entire token family. If mcporter has rotated a newer refresh token only in the gateway vault, provider-side revocation of that latest token is not guaranteed. Do not tell the user that disconnect proves every rotated token is revoked; use X's Connected Apps controls when a definitive provider-side cutoff is required.
