agentx

agentx — X/Twitter agent control surface

agentx is a single Go binary. Every command prints one JSON envelope to stdout, so parse stdout as JSON and check .ok. Build: go build -o agentx ./cmd/agentx.

Envelope (always this shape)

{"ok":true,"schema_version":"1","data":<any>,"pagination":{"nextCursor":"…"},"rateLimit":{…}}
{"ok":false,"schema_version":"1","error":{"code":"…","message":"…"}}

Rules: check .ok first. List data → .data is an array + .pagination.nextCursor. Single object → .data is an object. On error read .error.code (machine) + .error.message (human). Exit code ≠0 on error. Output is compact single-line JSON by default (token-efficient); add --pretty only when a human reads it.

Setup (once)

agentx account add --name NAME --auth-token <auth_token> --ct0 <ct0>

Cookies come from a logged-in browser (auth_token + ct0). Env fallback: TWITTER_AUTH_TOKEN, TWITTER_CT0. Store: $AGENTX_HOME/accounts.json (default ~/.agentx, mode 0600). Multi-account: add several, pick with -a NAME. account login --name N --username U (pass via $TWITTER_PASSWORD) does user/pass→cookies but X blocks login from datacenter IPs — prefer cookies.

Global flags (may precede or follow the subcommand)

-a NAME account · -n N max items · --cursor C page cursor · --pretty human-readable JSON · --account/--count long forms. IDs: any <id> also accepts a full tweet/list/community URL. Handles: with or without @.

Pagination

List commands return .pagination.nextCursor. Pass it back via --cursor for the next page. -n N caps items in the response (note: the cursor still points past the full fetched page, so for exact paging use the cursor, not a tiny -n).

Error codes (.error.code)

not_authenticated bad/expired cookies · not_found · invalid_input · rate_limited (see .rateLimit) · query_id_error X rotated a GraphQL id → set AGENTX_QID_<Operation>=<id> env or update constants · network_error · api_error x.com rejected (message has detail) · account_error.

Gotchas

• •Premium-gated (work only on X Premium accounts; routing is correct, x.com returns a clear error otherwise): edit, note/long-form post (>280), bookmarks folder writes.
• •Account-eligibility: community create needs an eligible account.
• •likers: X returns the liker list only to the tweet's author; empty for others (retweeters is public).
• •grok image: needs image-gen quota (free tier is limited/daily); errors clearly when the quota is spent.
• •DM: only classic (unencrypted) DMs via dm send/list/download. X's new XChat is end-to-end encrypted and out of scope (keys are device-only, non-extractable).
• •Rate limit: .rateLimit carries x-rate-limit-*; back off when remaining is low.
• •AGENTX_UTLS=1 sends a Chrome JA3 TLS fingerprint (HTTP/2) for stealth.
• •Writes are real and public — confirm intent before posting/following/etc.

Typical flows

• •Read a user's latest: agentx posts elonmusk -n 20
• •Reply: agentx reply <id> "nice" · Quote with image: agentx quote <id> "look" --media pic.jpg
• •Thread: agentx post --thread "long text…" · Poll: agentx poll "Q?" --option A --option B
• •Schedule: agentx schedule +2h "later" then agentx scheduled
• •Ask Grok: agentx grok "USD to IDR today?" · Image: agentx grok image "a dragon" --out d.png
• •Paginate: agentx feed -n 40 → take nextCursor → agentx feed --cursor <c>
