## 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-f2fb1d50 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search for the latest news and HackerNews discussion on 'AI agent payments' and give me clean, ad-free results I can actually use?

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when an agent needs live, real-time news or tech community results that are already cleaned and token-pruned — especially when avoiding ad bloat is important for downstream token budgets. It is ideal for grounding LLM responses with current events, monitoring HackerNews sentiment, or fetching recent tech news without building a custom scraper pipeline. Choose it over generic web search APIs when the focus is developer/tech news and token efficiency matters.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns a validation error (minLength:1 not satisfied)
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outage causes degraded or empty results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Highly obscure or niche queries may return zero matching results
- Non-idempotent retry without Idempotency-Key may result in duplicate billing
