Improve Twitter Tool Robustness Against Authentication Failures #391

Description

@jfrank-summit

Problem:

The Twitter tool (core/src/agents/tools/twitter/index.ts), using authentication logic from core/src/agents/tools/twitter/auth.ts, currently lacks robustness against authentication issues that can arise during extended agent operation. If the session established via cookies or initial login becomes invalid mid-process, subsequent Twitter API calls fail, potentially halting the agent's task.

Desired Outcome:

The Twitter tool should be resilient to intermittent authentication failures. When an action fails specifically due to an authentication/authorization error, the tool should automatically attempt to re-establish a valid session (using the available methods like refreshing cookies or re-logging in) and retry the failed action once. If re-authentication is unsuccessful, it should report a clear error rather than silently failing or causing the agent to crash.

Files Involved:

  • core/src/agents/tools/twitter/index.ts (Main tool logic)
  • core/src/agents/tools/twitter/auth.ts (Existing authentication functions)
