Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:

Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the MAXI-detected
burst GRB 231129B in a series of observations tiled on the sky. The
total exposure time is 2.0 ks, distributed over 7 tiles; the maximum
exposure at a single sky location was 659 s. The data were collected
between T0+12.3 ks and T0+18.0 ks, and are entirely in Photon Counting
(PC) mode. 

No X-ray sources have been detected. The 3-sigma upper limit in the
field (not including the regions where the tiles overlap) ranges from
~0.03 to ~0.07 ct s^-1, corresponding to a 0.3-10 keV observed flux of
1.1e-12 to 2.7e-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (assuming a typical GRB spectrum).

The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis of the tiled XRT
observations, including a position-specific upper limit calculator, are
available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/TILED_GRB00116.
