# xAI Grok Operations (2026)
## Workflow
1. Confirm whether you want native xAI SDK usage or OpenAI-compatible client usage against `https://api.x.ai/v1`.
2. Choose the Grok model and built-in tool set based on the task.
3. Define whether the workflow needs web search, X search, code execution, collections search, or remote MCP tools.
4. Document regional endpoint, throughput, and migration expectations before production rollout.
5. Validate citations, streaming, and tool billing behavior with a small end-to-end test.
## Output Requirements
- State the chosen model and client path.
- State the tool plan.
- State one operational risk and mitigation.
