## 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 axongate-answer-09efaad9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What is the current global installed capacity of solar power in gigawatts? Search up to 4 live web sources and give me a concise answer with numbered citations whose quotes are checked verbatim against the source pages.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a grounded, sourced answer from the live web — not just links — and citation accuracy matters. It is the right choice when the agent must cite specific passages verified verbatim against the actual fetched page, or when you want to constrain the search to specific URLs. Prefer it over a plain search endpoint when the downstream task requires trustworthy, fact-anchored responses rather than a ranked list of results.

## Known failure modes

- Question is too vague for meaningful web search — returns low-confidence or generic answer
- Supplied URLs are inaccessible or paywalled — falls back to search or returns partial results
- Live web sources contradict each other — may return hedged or multi-perspective answer
- max_sources set to 1 and the single page lacks the answer — returns insufficient content
- Rate limit or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 error with no answer
- Verbatim quote cannot be confirmed on fetched page — citation may be flagged or omitted

## How this service works

Answer a question from live web sources. AxonGate searches, reads the best pages, and returns a concise answer with numbered citations whose quotes are checked verbatim against the fetched pages. Use it when an agent needs a sourced answer, not just links.

## Output

A concise natural-language answer to the question, accompanied by numbered citations where each citation includes the source URL, a verbatim quote from the fetched page confirming the answer, and verification that the quote exactly matches the live page content.
