## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability scribed-glossary-reparatory-definition-1fb15392
```

Example prompt: Look up the definition of 'reparatory' from the Scribed glossary — it costs a penny per lookup but I need the machine-readable gloss for that term.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need the Scribed/PennyPress editorial definition of 'reparatory' as framed within political philosophy and essays on freedom and truth. Prefer this over generic dictionary APIs when the publication's specific ideological context or machine-readable format is required, and when micropayment via x402 is supported in your agent stack.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient — endpoint returns HTTP 402 and withholds the gloss
- Invalid or malformed properties parameter — may return empty or error response
- Term not found in glossary — response may return empty gloss or null
- Network timeout — standard HTTP error with no content returned
