## 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-718ded60
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about AI agent frameworks — I need clean, up-to-date results with no ads or bloat so I can ground my response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, real-time web grounding from credible news and tech community sources (Google News + HackerNews) without token overhead from ads or boilerplate. It is especially valuable for tech-focused queries, industry news, and developer community sentiment, where HackerNews Algolia coverage is uniquely strong. Prefer it over general web scrapers when token efficiency matters or when grounding recent events in a factual, low-noise context.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes no results or timeout
- Highly niche or obscure queries may return zero matching results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) blocks access if USDC micropayment is not completed
- Transient network errors may return partial result sets
