## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' field returns validation error
- Empty or vague query may return no results or low-quality articles
- Payment failure on Base chain results in 402 response and no data
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns error response
- Upstream news sources unavailable may cause partial or failed scrape
