## 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-d6ee803e
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest HackerNews and Google News articles about 'LLM prompt injection vulnerabilities' and give me a clean summary of what's being discussed right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date news or tech community discussions that go beyond an LLM's training cutoff, especially for topics covered by Google News or HackerNews. It is ideal for grounding agent responses in current events, tracking developer sentiment, or fact-checking recent claims. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you want token-efficient, ad-free results formatted for LLM consumption.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns a validation error
- Highly niche queries may return zero results from both sources
- Rate limiting or upstream RSS/Algolia unavailability may cause timeouts
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 USDC micropayment is not completed
- Queries returning stale cached RSS results for very recent breaking news
