## 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 gen-z-gen-alpha-slang-glossary-lookup-34ab37df -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What does 'no cap' actually mean? Look it up in the gen-z slang glossary and give me the definition and an example sentence.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need curated, human-vetted definitions of internet or generational slang, especially when generation-specific filtering matters. Prefer this over a general web search when you need structured output (meaning + era + example) suitable for programmatic use in moderation pipelines, marketing copy checks, or audience-aware content generation.

## Known failure modes

- Term not found in glossary — returns empty or error response
- Invalid generation filter value — unrecognized generation string rejected
- Count out of range — values outside 1-10 may be ignored or cause an error
- Payment failure — USDC payment not processed, request rejected
- Ambiguous term — slang with multiple generational meanings may return only one
