## 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 forgemesh-library-na-curated-shelf-3d5a9ad5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me up to 30 books from the ForgeMesh public-domain NA shelf — I'm looking for architecture, palaces, and cathedral texts I can read for free.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked list of public-domain books specifically in the NA (architecture, landscape, palaces, cathedrals, country homes) subject area. It is ideal for discovery — finding which texts exist and obtaining their drill-down routes — before fetching full text. Prefer this over full-text search when you want to browse the entire shelf rather than search for specific passages.

## Known failure modes

- limit value exceeds 50 — clamp to maximum or receive validation error
- limit value is 0 or negative — returns empty list or error
- payment not included or insufficient USDC — 402 Payment Required response
- shelf temporarily unavailable — 5xx error with no book results

## How this service works

Curated shelf: NA — 228 public-domain books including Royal Palaces and Parks of France, Woodward's Country Homes, Bell's Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Gloucester [2nd ed.] A Description of Its Fabric and A Brief History of the Espicopal See. Returns a ranked list with drill-down routes for full-text retrieval. No license, no API key required.

## Output
