## 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 preflight-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-3ad15b3d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's new model releases and give me clean, ad-free summaries I can actually use.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, ad-free, token-efficient news and tech article grounding from both mainstream (Google News) and developer-community (HackerNews) sources in a single call. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when token budget matters, and over static knowledge when recency is essential — especially for fast-moving tech topics.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query returns a validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outage causes no results or timeout
- Overly broad or vague queries may return low-relevance results
- Payment not attached or insufficient USDC triggers HTTP 402 before execution
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion from underlying RSS/Algolia sources
