## 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 novapath-related-records-finder-4c833b81 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find up to 3 public records related to record ID 'FDA:K123456' — I want to see which other records share terms with it along with their relevance scores and source links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have a known, stable public record ID and need to discover related records with relevance context and source links — particularly for research, due diligence, or expanding a public records investigation. It is best when you want ranked, scored relationships rather than a free-text search, and when you already have a seed record identifier to anchor the lookup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed record ID (does not match pattern) returns a validation error
- Record ID not found in the index returns no results or an error
- Unsupported record type is rejected before payment
- Empty or missing recordId field causes pre-payment rejection
- limit value outside 1–5 range is rejected
- No related records exist for a valid ID returns an empty result set

## How this service works

Find up to five related historical public records from one stable record ID. Returns shared terms, relevance scores and primary-source links; excludes the seed itself and rejects unsupported or empty selections before payment.

## Output

Returns up to five public records related to the seed record ID, each with shared terms, a relevance score, and a primary-source link. The seed record itself is excluded from results. Unsupported or empty record selections are rejected before payment is processed.
