## 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 forwardlane-repository-search-b7db0731
```

Example prompt: Search ForwardLane for repositories matching 'payment gateway' and give me the first 20 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need keyword-based search over repository names and properties with paginated results sorted by composite score. Prefer this over the sibling cosine-similarity embedding search when you have a concrete keyword or property value rather than a conceptual/semantic query. Best suited for discovering repositories by name fragment, tag, or metadata property.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameter 'q' returns a 400 bad request error
- page or page_size out of valid range (page < 1, page_size < 1 or > 500) returns a 400 error
- No repositories match the query — returns an empty items array with total: 0
- Payment not processed (x402 payment required) — returns 402 Payment Required
- Service unavailable or timeout — returns 5xx error

## How this service works

Searches repository names and properties. Returns a paginated envelope with items, total, page, page_size, and total_pages, sorted by composite score.

## Output

Returns a paginated JSON envelope containing: an array of matching repository items with their properties and composite scores, along with metadata fields: total (total matching count), page (current page), page_size (results per page), and total_pages (total number of pages). Results are sorted by a composite relevance score.
