## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-hub-web-search-08be5428
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fresh, live web results for a natural-language query and want a simple ranked list of title, URL, and snippet. Prefer it over static knowledge bases or LLM-only responses when recency matters and you need verifiable source URLs.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' parameter returns a validation error
- Limit exceeding 20 is clamped or rejected
- Query yielding no results returns an empty results array
- Network or upstream search provider errors may return 5xx responses
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
