## 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 scribed-glossary-plethora-definition-1617ad75
```

Example prompt: Look up the definition of 'plethora' in the Scribed glossary on PennyPress — it costs a penny per lookup and returns a structured JSON definition.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need the editorial definition of 'plethora' as curated by the Scribed publication on PennyPress, particularly when you want a machine-readable structured definition from an essay-oriented, freedom/truth-focused editorial source rather than a generic dictionary API. Ideal for agents that need to pay-per-lookup for authoritative editorial glossary content via x402 micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required if the x402 micropayment is not completed
- Term not found — endpoint may return an error if the glossary entry does not exist
- Network timeout — slow response if the server is under load
- Malformed response — incomplete JSON if payment is accepted but content delivery fails
