## 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 agents-momentra-org-search-businesses-abb67d34
```

Example prompt: Can you search Momentra for a business called 'The Green Lantern Brewery' or their domain greenlanternbrewery.com and get me their ID?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a business name or domain to an internal Momentra organization ID before calling related endpoints like 'Get events for a specific business'. Prefer this over the events search endpoint when the entity (business/venue/publisher) is known but its ID is not yet available.

## Known failure modes

- Empty array returned when no business matches the query string
- Query too vague returns many unrelated results with no disambiguation
- Domain not indexed returns empty results even if business exists elsewhere
- Network timeout if the Momentra index is temporarily unavailable
- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a 400 validation error
