## 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-pride-and-prejudice-passage-retrieval-0a895e7e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Pride and Prejudice for the most relevant passages about what Elizabeth Bennet thinks of Darcy when they first meet — give me up to 8 passages with their chapter citations.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need verbatim, cited source text from Pride and Prejudice specifically — not a summary or AI-generated answer. Ideal for literary research, essay writing, quote verification, or book club prep where exact wording and provenance (chapter/location) matter. Prefer over general web search when you want structured, reliable passage retrieval from the canonical text without hallucination risk.

## Known failure modes

- Question too vague to match meaningful passages — returns low-relevance results
- Limit exceeds 15 — capped or error returned
- No passages found for highly obscure or out-of-scope queries
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC not available or wallet not configured
- Network timeout on the retrieval backend
