## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a real-time, curated cybersecurity news feed with pay-per-call USDC micropayment pricing (no subscription required). Prefer it over generic news APIs when the use case is specifically infosec/cybersecurity content, and when low-cost per-call billing ($0.002 USDC) fits the usage pattern better than flat-rate subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 503: analysis/feed failure — not billed; no items returned
- Empty items array if no recent news is available
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient on Base or Solana
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion returning an error response
- Invalid 'limit' parameter type causing a 400 bad request
