 All notable changes to this plugin will be documented here.
 
+## 2.10.1 — Unsupported reads
+
+- When no X tool covers an ask, like a user's followers or following, agents say so plainly and offer the closest tool (profile `public_metrics` counts) instead of falling back to the browser and asking the user to sign in.
+
 ## 2.10.0 — Spaces, Communities, and Lists
 
 - Added Spaces (`search_spaces`, `get_spaces_by_id`, `get_spaces_by_ids`, `get_spaces_by_creator_ids`, `get_spaces_posts`), Communities (`search_communities`, `get_communities_by_id`), and Lists: eight reads plus `create_lists`, `update_lists`, member, follow, and pin writes. There's no tool to delete a list or read a community's posts. All are free.

+If no X tool covers the ask (for example a user's followers or who they follow), say plainly that X tools can't do that yet and offer the closest tool above, like their profile's `public_metrics` counts. Never fall back to the browser, scrape x.com, or ask them to sign in, and don't call it a connection or scopes problem.
+
 If a tool takes `tweet.fields` or `post.fields`, send `created_at,public_metrics,author_id,lang,conversation_id`. Also send `user.fields=created_at,description,public_metrics,verified,location` and `expansions=author_id,referenced_tweets.id`.
 
 Pass `meta.next_token` as `pagination_token` and stop when it is absent. Page as far as the task needs.
