* feat(x_search): gated X (Twitter) search tool with OAuth-or-API-key auth
Salvages tools/x_search_tool.py from the closed PR #10786 (originally by
@Jaaneek) and reworks its credential resolution so the tool registers
when EITHER xAI credential path is available:
* XAI_API_KEY (paid xAI API key) is set in ~/.hermes/.env or the env, OR
* The user is signed in via xAI Grok OAuth — SuperGrok subscription —
i.e. hermes auth add xai-oauth has been run
Both paths route through xAI's built-in x_search Responses tool at
https://api.x.ai/v1/responses. When both credentials exist OAuth wins,
matching tools/xai_http.py's existing preference order (uses SuperGrok
quota instead of paid API spend).
The check_fn calls resolve_xai_http_credentials() which auto-refreshes
the OAuth access token if it's within the refresh skew window, so a
True return means the bearer is fetchable AND non-empty.
Wiring
- tools/x_search_tool.py — new tool, ~370 LOC. Schema gated by check_fn,
bearer resolved per-call so revoked OAuth surfaces a clean tool_error
rather than an HTTP 401.
- toolsets.py — "x_search" toolset def. NOT added to _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS;
users opt in via hermes tools.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py — CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS entry + TOOL_CATEGORIES
block with two provider options (OAuth + API key) sharing the existing
xai_grok post_setup hook for credential bootstrap.
- hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG["x_search"] with model /
timeout_seconds / retries. Additive nested key; no version bump.
- tests/tools/test_x_search_tool.py — 13 tests covering HTTP shape,
handle validation, citation extraction, 4xx/5xx/timeout handling,
and the full credential-resolution matrix (OAuth-only, API-key-only,
both-set, neither-set, resolver-raises, config overrides, registry
registration).
- website/docs/guides/xai-grok-oauth.md — adds X Search to the
direct-to-xAI tools section with off-by-default note.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/tools.md — new row in the tools table.
Off by default — users enable via `hermes tools` → 🐦 X (Twitter) Search.
Schema only appears to the model when xAI credentials are configured.

* docs(x_search): add dedicated feature page + reference entries
- website/docs/user-guide/features/x-search.md (new) — full feature
walkthrough: authentication, enablement, configuration, parameters,
returned fields, example, troubleshooting, see-also links.
- website/docs/reference/tools-reference.md — new "x_search" toolset
section with parameter docs and credential gating note.
- website/docs/reference/toolsets-reference.md — new row in the
toolset catalog table.
- website/sidebars.ts — wires the new feature page under
Media & Web, after web-search.
