Agent session transport is native ACP (`grok agent stdio`) for realtime
|
|
session/update streaming, tool visibility, multi-turn session reuse, and Fusion
|
|
permission-gate integration. The previous one-shot `grok -p --output-format json`
|
|
path is retired as the primary prompt transport because it buffered until
|
|
subprocess close and could not surface tool calls. Probe (`grok --version`) and
|
|
model discovery (`grok models`) are unchanged.
|
|
-->
|
|
|
|
## Ground truth
|
|
|
|
Fusion shells out to an **operator-installed** `grok` binary. The binary is not downloaded or bundled by Fusion, so the authoritative contract is the installed xAI CLI's own help/version output plus live execution on an authenticated machine.
|
|
|
|
External integration evidence:
|
|
|
|
- Canonical upstream: xAI official Grok CLI / Grok Build TUI, surfaced by the installed binary as `grok 0.2.93 (f00f96316d4b)`.
|
|
- Docs/homepage: https://grok.com/, https://docs.x.ai/, https://docs.x.ai/build/overview, and `grok --help` / `grok agent --help` / `grok agent stdio --help` for exact flags.
|
|
- ACP protocol: https://agentclientprotocol.com
|
|
- Release/download: operator-installed; Fusion resolves `grok` from PATH or `grokCliBinaryPath` and does not bundle a release artifact.
|
|
- Binary name: `grok`.
|
|
- Checksum: `upstream-pending-verification` because Fusion does not pin or download the operator's binary.
|
|
|
|
The previously documented https://github.com/superagent-ai/grok-cli contract is a different product that happens to use the same binary name. Its `grok --prompt <text> --format json` invocation is not accepted by xAI's CLI.
|
|
|
|
## Agent session transport — ACP (`grok agent stdio`)
|
|
|
|
Fusion's `GrokRuntimeAdapter` drives Grok as an ACP (Agent Client Protocol) agent over JSON-RPC/stdio, following [xAI Headless & Scripting](https://docs.x.ai/build/cli/headless-scripting#acp):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Official automation shape (docs.x.ai): suppress update checks in CI/scripts
|
|
grok --no-auto-update agent stdio
|
|
# with optional model + session skills plugin:
|
|
grok --no-auto-update agent --plugin-dir <session-plugin> -m grok-4.5 stdio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
ACP session lifecycle (official contract):
|
|
|
|
1. `initialize` (protocolVersion 1)
|
|
2. **`authenticate`** — prefer `xai.api_key` when `XAI_API_KEY` is set and advertised, else `cached_token`, with `_meta: { headless: true }`
|
|
3. `session/new` (cwd, mcpServers, optional `_meta.pluginDirs` / rules)
|
|
4. `session/prompt` — completion metadata on the response; assistant text arrives as `session/update` `agent_message_chunk`s
|
|
|
|
Auth: local `grok login` (cached token in `~/.grok/auth.json`) **or** `XAI_API_KEY`. Fusion forwards `XAI_API_KEY` on the spawn allow-list.
|
|
|
|
Implementation uses a **vendored** ACP client under `plugins/fusion-plugin-grok-runtime/src/acp/` (copied from the ACP runtime plugin; not a package import) with Grok-specific settings:
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Grok value |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Binary | `grok` (or configured path) |
|
|
| Args | `["agent", "--plugin-dir", "<session-plugin>", …, "stdio"]` (optional `-m <id>`) |
|
|
| Env | Allow-list including `HOME`/`PATH`/`USER`/XDG + optional `XAI_API_KEY`/`GROK_API_KEY` (never full `process.env`) |
|
|
| `acpFsRead` / `acpFsWrite` | `false` (Grok has native tools; client-side fs stays off) |
|
|
| `acpAllowUnrestricted` | `true` (operator-selected first-party CLI; non-allow policy categories still gated) |
|
|
| `session/new.mcpServers` | Operator MCP servers (stdio/http/sse) + Fusion `fusion-custom-tools` bridge for `fn_*` |
|
|
| Skills | Session-scoped Grok plugin (`--plugin-dir` + `_meta.pluginDirs`) with bundled Fusion skill + `additionalSkillPaths` |
|
|
|
|
### Fusion tools and skills
|
|
|
|
<!--
|
|
FNXC:GrokAcp 2026-07-11-14:00:
|
|
Parity with pi sessions: executor/chat lanes pass customTools + skillSelection +
|
|
mcpServers through createResolvedAgentSession. Grok ACP must not drop them.
|
|
-->
|
|
|
|
1. **Operator MCP** — `options.mcpServers` is reshaped to ACP wire format and forwarded on `session/new`.
|
|
2. **Fusion custom tools (`fn_*`)** — engine `customTools` are hosted by a loopback HTTP bridge + stdio MCP server (`mcp-schema-server.cjs`) named `fusion-custom-tools`. Grok invokes tools via real MCP `tools/call`; the bridge runs `ToolDefinition.execute` in-process. Dashboard chat and room responders include the same safe coordination/productivity tools as their pi-shaped sessions: board discovery, task creation and delegation, agent discovery/configuration, web fetch, and goal/memory/research retrieval; destructive agent-lifecycle tools remain excluded from chat.
|
|
3. **Skills** — the bundled Fusion skill (`packages/cli/skill/fusion`) plus any `additionalSkillPaths` skill roots are staged into a temp plugin directory and loaded via `grok agent --plugin-dir` and `_meta.pluginDirs`. Requested skill names and tool counts are also written into `_meta.rules` / system prompt context.
|
|
|
|
### Session lifecycle
|
|
|
|
1. `createSession` — spawn `grok agent stdio`, ACP `initialize`, `session/new` over the task cwd.
|
|
2. `promptWithFallback` — ACP `session/prompt` with text + optional chat image ContentBlocks from prompt options; stream `session/update` notifications until terminal `stopReason`.
|
|
3. `dispose` — best-effort `session/cancel` + process-registry SIGKILL (authoritative no-orphan guarantee).
|
|
|
|
### Streamed update mapping
|
|
|
|
| ACP `sessionUpdate` | Fusion callback |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `agent_message_chunk` | `onText` |
|
|
| `agent_thought_chunk` | `onThinking` |
|
|
| `tool_call` | `onToolStart` |
|
|
| `tool_call_update` (terminal) | `onToolEnd` |
|
|
|
|
Multi-turn conversations reuse the same ACP session/connection (no cold spawn per prompt).
|
|
|
|
### Auth
|
|
|
|
Grok owns authentication. Preferred path is a cached session in `~/.grok/auth.json` (requires `HOME` in the allow-list). Optional key-based auth uses `XAI_API_KEY` or `GROK_API_KEY` when no cached token is present. The readiness probe (`grok --version`) proves only binary presence, not authenticated ACP readiness.
|
|
|
|
### Permissions
|
|
|
|
Tool calls from the Grok agent surface as ACP `session/request_permission` and route through Fusion's per-category action gate (same floor as the generic ACP runtime). Unrestricted policy + `acpAllowUnrestricted` auto-allows sensitive categories for autonomous executor turns; `require-approval` / `block` still apply when configured.
|
|
|
|
## Failures that shaped the prior headless contract (historical)
|
|
|
|
### Wrong-product flags (FN-7790)
|
|
|
|
The old adapter invocation fails against the real xAI binary:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
grok --prompt "say hello" --format json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Streaming JSON cancellation with zero text (FN-7796)
|
|
|
|
`--output-format streaming-json` intermittently ended `stopReason:"Cancelled"` with zero `text` events. That motivated the temporary switch to single-object `--output-format json`. ACP replaces both headless modes for agent sessions because it streams reliably over JSON-RPC and carries tool/permission structure.
|
|
|
|
## Probe and model discovery (unchanged)
|
|
|
|
### Version probe
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
grok --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Model discovery
|
|
|
|
`grok models` is plain text, not JSON. Observed shape:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
You are logged in with grok.com.
|
|
|
|
Default model: grok-4.5
|
|
|
|
Available models:
|
|
* grok-4.5 (default)
|
|
- grok-composer-2.5-fast
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Fusion parses the bullet list conservatively and exposes ids under provider `grok-cli` when the `useGrokCli` toggle is enabled.
|
|
|
|
## Runtime routing
|
|
|
|
The Grok runtime adapter is reached when:
|
|
|
|
1. an agent explicitly sets `runtimeConfig.runtimeHint === "grok"`; or
|
|
2. the FN-7753/FN-7758 no-visible-key fallback derives the same runtime hint for a `grok-cli/*` default/fallback provider selection and the bundled Grok Runtime plugin is registered.
|
|
|
|
The selected `grok-cli/<id>` or `grok/<id>` model is normalized to `<id>` and passed as `grok agent -m <id> stdio`. The explicit no-model Runtime-mode path keeps `grok/default` and omits `-m`.
|
|
|
|
## Diagnostics and empty-output invariant
|
|
|
|
The adapter preserves the resolve-never-reject runtime contract while surfacing concrete diagnostics:
|
|
|
|
- ACP create/handshake failure → dead session + diagnostic `onText` (create does not throw to the engine).
|
|
- ACP prompt failure → diagnostic `onText` when no assistant text streamed; never reject.
|
|
- Abnormal `stopReason` (not `end_turn`) with zero text → stop-reason diagnostic.
|
|
- Clean `end_turn` with no assistant text → legitimate silent response, not a diagnostic.
|
|
- Partial text before a failed close → keep the assistant text; do not replace it with an error.
|
|
|
|
This invariant prevents blank/no-message assistant bubbles while still allowing genuinely empty model turns.
