## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to fetch and parse a public RSS or Atom feed on demand without setting up API keys or accounts, especially in agent workflows that pay per call using USDC on Base via x402. Ideal for one-off feed reads, news aggregation, and content monitoring tasks.

## Known failure modes

- Feed URL is not publicly accessible — returns an error or empty response
- URL does not point to a valid RSS or Atom feed — parse failure
- Feed server is slow or times out — timeout error
- limit parameter exceeds max of 100 — clamped or error
- Malformed XML in feed — parsing error returned

## How this service works

Fetches and parses any public RSS 2.0 or Atom 1.0 feed. Returns feed metadata (title, description, language, last updated) and structured items (title, link, 400-char summary, author, published date, GUID). Useful for monitoring news, blog posts, GitHub release notes, Reddit RSS, arXiv category feeds, or security advisories.

## Output
