## 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 agentsvc-io-rss-atom-feed-fetcher-85cedf18 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch the RSS feed at https://hnrss.org/frontpage and give me the 10 most recent article titles and links.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically read the contents of any RSS or Atom feed without managing HTTP clients or XML parsing yourself. It is the right choice for news aggregation, content monitoring, podcast feed reading, or any workflow that needs structured JSON from a syndication feed. Prefer it over generic web scraping when the target site publishes an official RSS/Atom feed, since it returns clean structured data rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed feed URL returns an error
- Non-RSS/Atom URL (e.g. plain HTML page) may fail to parse
- Feed server unreachable or returning non-200 returns an error
- Limit exceeding 100 is rejected by schema validation
- Very large feeds may time out before full parsing
