## 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 github-audit-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-906494b3
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about Model Context Protocol — I want clean, ad-free results I can use as grounded citations.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground its responses with live, current web and tech news citations without consuming excessive tokens from ad bloat or HTML noise. It is particularly well-suited for tech, developer, and AI topics where HackerNews coverage is relevant. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when token efficiency matters and the target sources (Google News RSS, HackerNews) adequately cover the domain.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or very short query returns no meaningful results
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes fetch failure
- Highly niche or misspelled queries return zero results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) blocks the request
- Query returns outdated results if upstream feeds are slow to update
