## 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 mcp-security-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-03a0767b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'LLM agents' and give me a clean summary of what's trending right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground its responses in live, current web news or HackerNews discussions without processing raw HTML or dealing with ad-cluttered pages. It is especially useful for tech-focused queries where HackerNews community signal is valuable alongside Google News coverage. Prefer this over generic search APIs when token efficiency matters and you want clean, structured results ready for LLM consumption.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes fetch failure
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC micropayment is not processed
- Very niche queries may return zero results
- Network timeouts from upstream sources
