## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability scribed-glossary-palaver-definition-a5fd1045
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the definition of 'palaver' from Scribed's glossary? I'm willing to pay the penny fee to get the full explanation.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, essay-oriented definition of the specific term 'palaver' as interpreted through the lens of freedom and truth discourse, and you are operating in a micropayment-capable (x402) context. It is not a general-purpose dictionary API; it is best for agents enriching content with philosophically grounded vocabulary from the Scribed publication.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed — 402 response returned with no content if micropayment fails
- Term not found — endpoint may return an empty or error response if the glossary entry doesn't exist
- Network timeout — slow response if the server is under load
- Malformed request — incorrect properties parameter format may yield no result
