## 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 2s-io-gitlab-project-search-80ce18f7
```

Example prompt: Search GitLab for public projects related to 'kubernetes operator', ranked by stars — show me the top 10 results with their descriptions, star counts, and URLs.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or search public GitLab-hosted repositories specifically — complementing GitHub search (code.repo-lookup). Prefer this when the user explicitly wants GitLab projects, when you need cross-host repository discovery, or when comparing open source project popularity across both platforms.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if no GitLab projects match the query string
- Query too short (under 2 chars) or too long (over 200 chars) returns a validation error
- GitLab API rate limiting or downtime may cause upstream errors
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Search public GitLab projects (keyless), ranked by stars. Each result: full name, path, description, star and fork counts, web URL, last-activity timestamp, and topics. Complements code.repo-lookup (GitHub) for cross-host repository discovery.

## Output

A ranked list of public GitLab projects matching the query, each with: full project name, path, description, star count, fork count, web URL, last-activity timestamp, and topic tags. Results are ordered by star count descending, up to the requested limit (max 30).
