Your agent asked: Find recent posts from the TaskFuel account on X Returned in this test: - Posts: 4 - Author: @TaskFuelAI - Newest post: 10 Sep 2026 - Per post: Text, date, URL, engagement Charged in this test: $0.005. One search sample of four posts. ## Connect your agent Read the [setup guide](https://taskfuel.ai/docs/setup/) and choose the connection your agent supports. Use one TaskFuel account and prepaid balance. Inspect the provider and request quote before a paid call, then review the returned response and recorded charge. ## When to use it ### Read the posts behind the summary. Ask your agent to group feedback about a product and keep the original links. A small search sample cannot measure overall sentiment. ### Find mentions after you publish. Search your product name and account handle. Have your agent separate questions from unrelated matches. ### Check what changed. Search a topic or account and compare returned post dates. Keep old posts out of a brief that needs current evidence. ## Questions ### Can my AI agent search X or Twitter? Yes. Connect TaskFuel and ask your agent to use the Otto tweet-search endpoint.

You do need a TaskFuel account, prepaid balance and connected agent: ask it to use Otto's tweet-search endpoint and it returns the posts directly. ### Does it return every matching post? It returns a sample of matching posts, newest first, with dates and links. ### Can this post tweets or send messages? This tool page covers reading public search results.

Sign in to TaskFuel, copy the connection prompt into your agent and approve it. Then ask it to search X for a topic or account; the price appears before it runs. ## Related tool guides - [Add Reddit search to an MCP client](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/reddit-mcp/) - [Read the webpages behind a search](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/extract-webpage/) - [Search Reddit discussions](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/search-reddit-without-account/) - [Read an account’s timeline and profile](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/twitter-scraper-api/) ## Reference - [Read this guide on the website](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/x-search/). - [Browse providers and capabilities](https://taskfuel.ai/catalog/). - [Pricing](https://taskfuel.ai/pricing/). - [Agent instructions](https://taskfuel.ai/llms.txt).
