## 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 enclave402-web-search-a4dd8fb3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest news on OpenAI's new model releases and give me the top 5 results with their titles, URLs, and descriptions.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs current, live web information that is not available in static or cached data sources. It is ideal for recent events, news, fact-checking against live sources, or any query where training-data cutoffs make static responses unreliable. Prefer it over cached knowledge bases when recency is critical. Prefer it over scraping a specific URL when the best source is unknown and discovery across the open web is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Query string too long (over 500 characters) — request rejected
- Limit value out of range (below 1 or above 10) — validation error
- No results found for highly obscure or malformed queries — empty results array
- Network or upstream search provider timeout — failure response with no charge
- Missing required query field — bad request error
