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

  1. Run x_search with query related to “Grok Hermes-Agent integration”
  2. Ask Hermes to list the top posts with links
  3. Observe the output contains “1. Status”, “2. Status”, etc. instead of real URLs

Expected Behavior

Clean numbered list with full direct links:

  1. https://x.com/grok/status/2056065022749479209
  2. 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.
