## 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 prompt-guard-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-f7146700
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'open source LLM benchmarks 2025' and give me clean, ad-free citations I can use to ground my response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date web news and tech article grounding with minimal token overhead — especially for AI agent pipelines where token efficiency matters. Prefer it over general-purpose search APIs when the focus is technology and news topics, and when you want results free of ads and promotional noise. It is particularly suited for HackerNews-style technical discourse alongside mainstream news coverage.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or overly broad query returns noisy or irrelevant results
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes no results
- Payment not processed (HTTP 402) blocks access
- Query too short (minLength:1 violated) returns validation error
- Highly niche queries may return zero results if no recent articles exist
