The creator's logins, files and chats, custom code, MCP servers, API keys or private skills

Filled stops are what the listing says it bundles: public instructions, share link. The live configuration on x.ai is the source of truth. Works with Google Drive.
What it costs to run
Adding a template is free. Running it isn't: every run draws from your Grok Bot plan's weekly usage pool, and past that you pay from prepaid credit.

This one runs when you ask, so you control the spend. Long multi-step jobs still use more than quick ones.
