## 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-a9290348
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'WebAssembly performance improvements' and give me clean, bloat-free citations I can use to ground my response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground responses in current, live web and tech news without token waste from ad-heavy pages. It is especially well-suited for developer-focused queries where HackerNews community signal is valuable alongside mainstream news. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you need token-efficient, citation-ready output from two high-quality sources simultaneously.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns a validation error (query is required)
- No results found for very obscure or misspelled queries
- Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia upstream outage causes empty or partial results
- Payment required (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment is not provided or fails
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without valid payment headers
