Security & Permissions

What this skill does:

• Sends chat prompts to xAI's API at api.x.ai
• Vision mode sends images to xAI for analysis
• scripts/models.js lists available models (read-only)

• Does not read arbitrary local files — --image only accepts files with image extensions (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp)
• Does not read config files or access the filesystem beyond the specified image path
• Does not store conversation history or logs
• Does not send credentials to any endpoint other than api.x.ai
• Cannot be invoked autonomously by the agent (disable-model-invocation: true)

Review scripts before first use to verify behavior.
