zero fetch --capability crawol-web-reader-0739235e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you read the content at https://example.com/article and return whatever text or data is on that page?

## When to prefer this

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns success: false with error details
- Payment failure via x402 prevents request from completing
- Paywalled or bot-protected pages may return incomplete or blocked content
