## 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 open-source-maintainer-research-for-platform-operators-5cc094e3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you research the maintainer activity and governance health of the open-source project 'OpenTelemetry' for me? Pull up to 8 current web sources focused on release activity and project health for platform operators.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a platform operator needs quick, current-web-sourced intelligence about open-source project maintainer activity, governance, or health — especially for dependency due diligence, risk assessment, or sustainability evaluation. Prefer it over static package registries when you need fresh signals from across the web rather than structured registry metadata.

## Known failure modes

- Query yields no relevant web sources — returns empty results array
- max_results out of range (must be 1–10) — validation error
- Query too vague or broad — returns tangentially related sources
- Payment not processed — endpoint returns 402 error
- Upstream web search temporarily unavailable — service error
