## 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 cortexcloud-coins-search-51304d6a
```

Example prompt: Search for coins matching 'ethereum' and give me a list of results including their symbols and IDs.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a coin name, partial ticker, or keyword into a structured coin record (including its canonical ID) before performing further lookups. Ideal for agent workflows that need to disambiguate user-provided coin names before querying prices or metadata. Prefer this over manually guessing coin IDs or symbols.

## Known failure modes

- No coins found matching the query — returns empty results list
- Ambiguous or misspelled query returns unrelated coins
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 response before data is returned
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 5xx error
- Overly broad search query returns too many results with no prioritization
