# Mute an account on X (Twitter)

Automatically mute an account on X (Twitter) on x.com. Mute an X user by handle (hides their posts from you; invisible to them). Already-muted accounts are reported rather than re-muted. Returns handle, muted, was_muted.

## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/x.com/mute_user`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/x.com/mute_user
```

## Input

- `handle` (string, required): Target user's handle (with or without @). The mute takes effect immediately on the logged-in account — invisible to the target, but it changes what you see in your own feed — so confirm the exact handle with the user before running rather than inferring it from an earlier or unrelated message.

## Output

- `muted` (boolean, required)
- `handle` (string, required)
- `was_muted` (boolean, required): already_present signal: true if already muted before this call
- `verified_on_page` (boolean, required): true if the page was reloaded and re-inspected after the action, confirming the mute is actually visible/present
- `account_used` (string | null, optional): handle of the logged-in account that performed the action, read from the account switcher UI (not assumed from input)
