## 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 forgemeshlibrary-t-curated-shelf-letter-t-53129402 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me up to 30 public-domain books from the T shelf on the Forgemesh library so I can pick one to read.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to browse or list public-domain books whose catalog entry falls under the letter T specifically, rather than performing a full-text keyword search. It is ideal for discovery workflows where you want to enumerate available titles from a curated shelf rather than search by content.

## Known failure modes

- limit parameter out of range (>50) may return an error or be capped
- empty or malformed request body may return default 20 results or an error
- service unavailable if the library backend is down
- payment failure (x402) if USDC micropayment is not processed correctly
