Credits

Your AI does the writing. Posts, replies, threads, articles, rewrites and DM first lines written by your own Claude or ChatGPT cost nothing on Xholic: you send the finished text and Xholic posts or schedules it. Xholic AI runs only where it is genuinely needed, and never without a quote first.

What	Cost
Reading stored data: posts, analytics, contacts, context, memory	Free, within rate limits
Live X lookups (search, people, posts)	No credits; uses the plan’s X data limits
Posting and scheduling	The same post credits as the app
Xholic AI: Worker runs, Signals scoring, images, ask_xholic, draft_with_xholic	The app’s AI credit prices, quoted first

API and MCP access is included in every plan, including the trial, at no extra price.

Quote, then confirm

1. Call the action without confirmCredits.
2. It answers CREDITS_CONFIRMATION_REQUIRED with a quote in error.details.quote and in the message: the estimate, what it pays for, and how many credits are left.
3. Show the quote to the user. Only after they agree, call again with the same input plus confirmCredits set to at least the estimate and the quote’s quoteId.

A quoteId works once, for 10 minutes, for the same connection and the exact same input. A confirmation without a matching quote, or with different input, gets a fresh quote instead of running, so an AI can’t approve spending up front.

{
  "ok": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "CREDITS_CONFIRMATION_REQUIRED",
    "message": "This uses Xholic AI: up to 25 credits (…). 1840 credits left. Ask the user, then call again with the same input plus confirmCredits: 25 and quoteId: \"qt_…\".",
    "scope": "account",
    "details": {
      "quote": {
        "quoteId": "qt_…",
        "capabilityId": "drafts.with_xholic",
        "estimateCredits": 25,
        "creditsRemaining": 1840,
        "note": "…"
      }
    }
  }
}

The estimate is an upper bound; creditsCharged in the result says what was actually spent. Scheduled Workers and always-on Signals agents were approved when you set them up and don’t ask again on each run. In the CLI, --estimate prints the quote without running anything.
