## 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 basebrain-ai-web-search-113f40d9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest developments in quantum computing breakthroughs in 2025 and give me a summary of what you find.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or recent web information that a static knowledge base cannot provide, especially for current events, live data, or recently published content. Prefer it over static LLM knowledge when freshness matters.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or missing query input resulting in generic or empty results
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion returning an error response
- External web fetch failures if target pages are unavailable
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Timeout if web sources are slow to respond
- Poorly structured input object causing a 400 bad request
