Example prompt: Can you pull up the Pharos Atlas structured reference on surgical instrument repair — I need the workflow steps, key questions, and subject definitions from their editorial snapshot?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, citable editorial reference snapshot on surgical instrument repair topics — specifically when you want defined workflow steps, key diagnostic questions, subject glossary entries, and provenance metadata in a single call. Prefer this over open web searches when you need consistent, versioned reference material with known scope and limitations for agent grounding, research briefings, or decision-support contexts.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed (402): x402 micropayment must be completed before content is returned
- Network or billing server error (5xx): service may be temporarily unavailable
- Stale snapshot: source date is 2026-10-19 and content may not reflect current industry practices
- No query parameters accepted: additional filtering is not supported by this endpoint
- Content scope mismatch: resource covers editorial reference only, not live repair data or work authorization

## How this service works

Pharos Atlas provides structured editorial references for trade and blue-collar topics. Its paid x402 resources give researchers, developers, and AI agents defined reference material with stated scope, source context, and limitations. Each listing describes the specific resource being purchased.

## Output

A JSON object containing the pharos.trade-review.v1 schema, including: a structured workflow array (ordered repair process steps), a questions array (key diagnostic questions), a subjects map with definitions of core topics like instrument identification, site metadata (domain, cluster, intents), a snapshot identifier, source date, and a provenance block describing the editorial origin, rights, source URL, and file hashes.
