```

Example prompt: Search Alibaba for 'stainless steel water bottles' and give me the top product listings including prices and supplier names.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing search query returns an error
- Alibaba blocks or rate-limits the scraper, resulting in empty or partial results
- Query returns no results if the keyword is too niche or misspelled
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Alibaba page structure changes may cause incomplete data extraction
