## 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 cerwal-github-search-f1c9f3ba -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search GitHub for the most popular open-source Python libraries for PDF parsing — find me repositories with high stars that are actively maintained.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to search GitHub programmatically without managing API keys or OAuth tokens, and is operating in a pay-per-use micropayment context via x402. It is ideal for agents that need on-demand GitHub discovery without subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty query field returns an error
- Invalid GitHub search syntax may return zero results
- GitHub API rate limiting may cause failures under high load
- Payment failure via x402 will block the request
- Overly broad queries may return truncated or unhelpful result sets
