## 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 mesh-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-grounding-8a91e5bc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about WebAssembly performance improvements — I need clean, ad-free results to ground my response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time, token-efficient web grounding from tech-focused sources (Google News + HackerNews) without dealing with ad bloat or HTML parsing overhead. It is especially well-suited for developer-facing agents that need current technical news, community sentiment, or citation support, and where token economy matters. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when the target domain is technology news and developer discourse specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or very short query returns no meaningful results
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailable, causing partial or failed responses
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if x402 micropayment is not properly attached
- Query too broad returns low-relevance results
- Very niche or obscure topics may yield sparse or zero results
