## 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 aur-package-search-c6726996 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the Arch User Repository for packages matching 'spotify' and show me what comes back.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search the Arch User Repository specifically for community-submitted packages, especially when building Arch Linux tooling, helping users find AUR packages by name or keyword, or automating package discovery on Arch-based systems. Prefer this over generic package search tools when the user is specifically on Arch Linux or an Arch-based distro (e.g. Manjaro, EndeavourOS).

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing query parameter returns no results or an error
- Query with no matching packages returns empty result set
- AUR upstream unavailable causes 502/503 response
- Malformed query may return unexpected results or errors
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429
