## 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 thebotwire-com-machining-metal-fabrication-news-feed-ec27c67f
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest machining and CNC news from thebotwire — give me up to 20 articles from the last 24 hours, and search for anything related to tooling suppliers.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs up-to-date trade-press intelligence specifically from the machining, CNC, and metal fabrication sector. It is preferable over general news endpoints when the user's context is manufacturing operations, job-shop management, tooling procurement, or machine-tool evaluation — particularly when sourcing from recognized B2B trade publications like MMS Online or Production Machining is required.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query terms match no recent articles — try broadening search or removing 'since' filter
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may return an error — use supported formats like 30m, 2h, 24h, 3d
- Invalid 'src' enum value returns validation error — must be 'mmsonline' or 'productionmach'
- Limit above 50 or below 1 returns schema validation error
- Stale content window if no new articles have been published recently
