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.
What it costs to run

Hourly or busiercan use a week's pool in a day
This one runs when you ask, so you control the spend. Long multi-step jobs still use more than quick ones.
