## 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 new-runtime-research-bundle-v2-47034feb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the New Runtime archive for everything they've published on agent payments — pull up to 10 sources, limit to articles from the last 90 days, and give me a full research bundle with claims and citations.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need curated, editorial-quality research specifically from the New Runtime archive on topics related to agent-shaped software, agent payments, or autonomous systems — rather than a general web search. It is especially useful when you want structured claims and citations rather than raw documents, and when you want to avoid re-purchasing content you already hold via known_stable_ids filtering.

## Known failure modes

- Query too short (below 3 characters) returns a validation error
- Query returns zero results if archive has no matching content on the topic
- Invalid stable ID format causes schema validation failure
- max_sources exceeding 24 returns a schema error
- Payment of 0.1 USDC not received results in 402 response and no bundle returned
- freshness_days filter too narrow may result in an empty sources list

## How this service works

New Runtime tracks the systems, signals, and shifts reshaping software as agents become first-class participants in work, products, and organizations.

## Output

A JSON research bundle containing a list of claims (key analytical assertions from the New Runtime archive), citations linking claims to source articles, and source metadata — all scoped to the requested topic and filtered by freshness and known stable IDs the buyer already holds.
