## 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-children-s-book-series-shelf-490aa62a -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you pull up a list of public-domain children's book series from that library service — give me the top 30 titles so I can pick one to read?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked list of public-domain children's book series titles (505 books) without any licensing or API key requirements. Prefer this over a full-text search endpoint when you want to browse or enumerate the children's series catalog rather than search for specific passages. Use this over general web search when you need structured, retrievable book metadata with drill-down routes for full-text access.

## Known failure modes

- Exceeding limit of 50 returns an error or capped result
- Invalid limit type (non-integer) may cause a validation error
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Service unavailable if library.forgemesh.io is down
