## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent402-tools-sitemap-fetcher-parser-a0d08e93 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch and parse the sitemap at https://example.com/sitemap.xml and give me all the URLs listed along with their last-modified dates?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically discover all pages or sections of a website via its sitemap.xml, especially when you want lastmod timestamps for freshness checking or need to enumerate child sitemaps from a sitemap index. Prefer this over manual HTML crawling when a structured sitemap is available.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable sitemap URL returns an error
- Non-XML or malformed XML at the URL causes a parse failure
- Sitemap index with more than 500 child sitemaps may be truncated
- URLs inside sitemaps that themselves contain more than 500 entries will be capped
- Timeout if the remote sitemap server is slow to respond
- HTTP errors (404, 403) from the sitemap host propagate as failures

## How this service works

Fetch and parse a sitemap.xml (or sitemap index): returns up to 500 URLs with lastmod, or the child sitemaps of an index.

## Output

A list of up to 500 URLs extracted from the sitemap with their lastmod timestamps, or, if the target is a sitemap index, a list of child sitemap URLs contained within it.
