Problem
When using the x_search tool, the final answer step sometimes renders citations incorrectly. Instead of showing proper links like https://x.com/user/status/ID, it outputs the word “Status” (or broken placeholders).
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
x_search with query related to “Grok Hermes-Agent integration”
- Ask Hermes to list the top posts with links
- Observe the output contains “1. Status”, “2. Status”, etc. instead of real URLs
Expected Behavior
Clean numbered list with full direct links:
- https://x.com/grok/status/2056065022749479209
- https://x.com/myrhex/status/2056071011326382437
...
Workaround
Manually extract URLs from the inline_citations array and output them as plain text.
Environment
- Hermes Agent (latest as of May 2026)
- Using Grok 4.3 via xAI OAuth
- Observed in Telegram and terminal interfaces
Reported by BigDon86
This appears to be a regression introduced with the new Grok OAuth + x_search integration.
