Is Grok AI safe?

Medium risk

Grok AI sends sidebar chat messages to Together's chat-completions API using an embedded bearer key.

When a user submits a prompt in the sidebar, the extension posts the conversation messages to https://api.together.xyz/v1/chat/completions for streaming model responses. The shipped background script includes the Together bearer token used for that request, so the API credential is recoverable from the extension bundle.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Grok AI contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
