## 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 sitecheck-web-intel-the-intercept-articles-181619a5
```

Example prompt: Find me the 5 most recent articles from The Intercept that mention 'NSA' or surveillance — just pull from their RSS feed and show me the titles and links.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need articles from The Intercept — a US investigative journalism outlet — rather than general web search. It is ideal for monitoring specific topics in investigative or national-security journalism, or when you need structured RSS-style metadata (title, date, link, summary) rather than full article text.

## Known failure modes

- RSS feed temporarily unavailable — empty result or upstream error
- Query string too long (over 200 characters) — validation error
- Limit parameter out of range (below 1 or above 30) — validation or default fallback
- No matching articles for keyword query — empty items array returned
- Network timeout to upstream RSS source

## How this service works

The Intercept articles from its public RSS feed (keyword filter on title/summary/categories). Latest items only. Public feed, no key.

## Output

Returns a list of up to 30 RSS feed items from The Intercept, each containing the article title, summary/description, categories, publication date, and a direct link to the article. Items are newest first. Keyword filtering applies to title and summary fields when a query is provided.
