## 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-d4408175
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about Anthropic's Claude — give me clean, ad-free results I can actually read.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, up-to-date news or tech community discussions (especially HackerNews) to ground its responses, and token efficiency matters. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when the target sources are Google News and HackerNews, when you want ad-free clean output with minimal token overhead, and when cost per call ($0.01) is acceptable. It is especially suited for agents that need current events context without parsing raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns 400 validation error
- Query yields no results from either Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia
- Upstream RSS or Algolia API is temporarily unavailable, causing partial or empty results
- Rate limit or payment failure (x402) returns 402 Payment Required
- Very broad queries may return loosely relevant results due to RSS feed limitations
