## 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-science-earth-agricultural-farming-shelf-ef98cc11 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me the top 20 public-domain books on farming and agricultural science from the ForgeMesh library shelf — I want titles I can drill into for full text.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-categorised browseable list of agricultural, earth science, or farming public-domain books — rather than running a free-text search. Ideal for discovery workflows where you want to surface the most historically significant titles in this niche without a specific query term.

## Known failure modes

- limit exceeds max of 50 — clamp or return error
- payment not completed (x402) — 402 response blocking access
- shelf returns fewer books than limit if total collection is smaller
- network timeout on large limit requests
