## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability scribed-glossary-cohort-definition-ffcf13de
```

Example prompt: Look up the definition of 'cohort' in the Scribed glossary — it's a philosophy and social-structures publication that charges a penny per lookup.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, machine-readable definition of the specific term 'cohort' as defined within the Scribed publication's philosophical and political-theory framework, and you are operating in an x402 micropayment-capable environment. It is not a general-purpose dictionary; prefer it when the Scribed perspective on freedom and social structures is specifically relevant.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not made or insufficient — endpoint returns HTTP 402 with payment instructions before content is delivered
- Term not found — if the path resolves to a non-existent glossary entry, may return 404 or empty content
- Network error on pennypress.org — service may be intermittently unavailable
- Malformed response — schema is minimal and gloss may be truncated or placeholder if payment flow is incomplete

## How this service works

A repository of essays on freedom, truth, and the structures around us, in machine-readable form. Free for humans. Pennies for machines.

## Output

A JSON object containing the glossary term ('cohort'), its definition/gloss (delivered after payment is confirmed), and the publication name ('Scribed'). The gloss field contains the full definition text relevant to freedom, truth, and social structure themes.
