X skill: built-in reads, unread state, no congrats line - #580

Conversation
Grok Bot reads public posts, users, search, trends, and news through its own X access, with no X connection and no user credits. The guide now covers those reads in its trigger, and says not to ask the user to connect X, check credits, or estimate a cost for them. get_usage_credits and get_users_me exist only on the user's X connection, so their absence next to built-in reads is not error 2 or an outage.

A reply does not accept a request, and opening one marks it delivered, so those stay separate from scanning both inboxes. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

The X MCP guide now covers Grok Bot's built-in public reads, so public posts, users, search, trends, and news do not ask the user to connect X, check credits, or estimate a cost.
What's unread in X Chat uses
get_chat_conversationswithunread_onlyand the unread fields, paging untilhas_moreis false, instead of scanning every conversation.Message requests are listed from both inboxes, opened only when the owner asked, and accepted only when the owner said to accept.
The on-connect message no longer opens with the free-credits congrats line. It starts with the capabilities list and still states the remaining balance.
Replaces #563, #566, #578 and #579.

Overview
Bumps the X plugin to 2.6.3 and rewrites agent guidance in the X MCP skill, README, and changelog.
Built-in public reads: Agents are told that Grok Bot can read public posts, users, search, trends, and news without an X connection, credit check, or cost estimate; missing
get_usage_credits/get_users_mebeside those reads is not treated as an error.On connect: The welcome flow drops the “Congrats, you've received free X API credits…” opener. It still leads with capabilities (Chat now mentions listing, opening, and accepting message requests) and the remaining balance line.
X Chat unread: New Unread workflow uses
get_chat_conversationswithunread_onlyandunread,last_read_event_id,newest_event_id, paging untilhas_moreis false, instead of scanning every thread for new events.Message requests: Documents list (
get_chat_message_requestsfor Priority and Hidden inboxes), open (get_chat_message_requestonly on user request—marks delivered), and accept (accept_chat_message_requestonly on explicit user consent; replies do not accept). Adds guardrails: do not open while scanning; do not accept while paging.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 20b1a0a. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
