## 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 library-forgemesh-io-animals-juvenile-fiction-shelf-89507c5e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull me a list of the top 20 public-domain children's animal books from the forgemesh library shelf — things like Winnie-the-Pooh and classic animal fiction for kids?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked list of public-domain children's animal fiction books — particularly when you want classics like Winnie-the-Pooh or similar titles without worrying about licensing. Prefer this over a full-text search endpoint when you want shelf-level browsing rather than passage retrieval, and over generic book APIs when you need guaranteed public-domain status with drill-down links included.

## Known failure modes

- limit exceeds 50 — API may return an error or clamp to 50
- payment failure (x402) — call blocked if USDC payment of $0.003 is not processed
- empty result if shelf index is temporarily unavailable
- malformed request body returns a 400-level error
