Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```

Example prompt: Fetch me 5 recent news articles about electric vehicles using Orbonomy's news endpoint.

## When to prefer this

When you need a quick, pay-per-call news retrieval without a subscription, and you want to fetch a controlled number of articles on a specific topic via the x402 micropayment protocol. Useful for agents that need on-demand news without committing to a recurring API subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'topic' or 'count' fields returns a validation error
- Invalid count type (non-integer) causes schema rejection
- Topic with no available news may return empty results or success:false
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks access
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion may return error responses
