Important Notes

Handles: work with or without @ prefix
userId vs handle: Bulk tools require numeric userId. Always call get_user first to resolve handle → userId
Pagination: most list tools accept cursor from previous response for next page
Media flow: always upload first, then attach mediaId to tweet
Rate limits: if a tool returns an error about rate limiting, wait 1-2 minutes before retrying
x402 payments: all calls are metered via micropayments on Base (USDC). Free tier available without wallet key
