## 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 datamuse-hypernyms-lookup-e6bd68a6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are more general words for 'spaniel'? I need the hypernyms — the broader category terms that 'spaniel' falls under.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need lexical hypernyms — semantically broader, more general category terms — for a specific English word, especially for NLP enrichment, ontology building, or semantic reasoning tasks. Prefer this over general thesaurus APIs when you specifically need the 'is-a' generalization relationship.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'word' parameter returns an error or empty result
- Unknown or misspelled word returns an empty hypernym list
- Word with no known hypernyms in Datamuse returns empty array
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns HTTP error
- Non-English or special-character words may yield no results

## How this service works
