## 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 scout-hugen-tokyo-bfd6e64f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me a deep research report on the artificial intelligence chip market — cover market trends, key players, and investor sentiment — searching across all sources including Twitter, and return the top 5 findings per source.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the most comprehensive, multi-source intelligence report possible — especially when social media signals (X/Twitter) are important alongside technical and market sources. Prefer over the 14-source variant when Twitter/X coverage is critical. Use for investment due diligence, competitive analysis, or strategic planning where breadth matters more than speed.

## Known failure modes

- Query too vague — returns low-quality synthesis with generic findings
- Rate limiting or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 status
- Source-specific failures (e.g. X/Twitter API outage) — partial results with degraded coverage
- Timeout on parallel search aggregation for very broad queries
- Invalid focus parameter — returns validation error
