## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need the glossary definition of the term 'cornucopia' as curated by the Scribed/PennyPress publication — particularly when building agents that consume micropayment-gated, machine-readable definitions from essay-based philosophical or political writing repositories. Prefer it over generic dictionary APIs when you want the publication's specific interpretive gloss rather than a standard lexical definition.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or insufficient: endpoint returns HTTP 402 Payment Required with no content
- Term not found: may return empty or null gloss if 'cornucopia' entry is unavailable
- Network or server error: standard 5xx response if the PennyPress server is unreachable
- Malformed properties filter: schema is loosely defined, so invalid property strings may be silently ignored
