## 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 gamemaxxing-baes-so-2406eaf4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me a full research briefing on the 'roguelike' genre — cover the core design concepts, key historical examples, cultural impact, and include citations and follow-up terms I should explore.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, cited research briefing on a specific video game topic rather than a simple keyword search result. Prefer this over the sibling search endpoint when you want synthesized explanations with examples and citations rather than ranked raw knowledge-base hits. Ideal for educational content generation, game design research, or building context around gaming concepts.

## Known failure modes

- Topic too vague or ambiguous — returns generic or low-confidence briefing
- Topic outside gaming domain — may return empty or irrelevant results
- Payment failure via x402 — request rejected before processing
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — HTTP 429 response
- Network timeout if briefing generation takes too long
