## 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 stableproduct-dev-7d09525e
```

Example prompt: Search the Wirecutter recommendation database for the best office chairs — show me the top 10 picks with active purchase offers.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to surface editorially-vetted product recommendations from Wirecutter specifically, rather than general web search or price comparison. Best for answering 'what is the best X to buy' style queries where Wirecutter's expert pick database is the authoritative source. Prefer concise product/category nouns as queries rather than natural language sentences.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results when query terms are misspelled or too vague — lexical search requires concise exact product nouns
- No results for very new product categories not yet in the persisted database
- Pagination offset beyond available results returns empty array
- Payment failure (402) if x402 USDC payment is not provided or insufficient

## How this service works

Search the persisted Wirecutter recommendation database by product type, pick name, review title, category, and model tokens. Search is lexical today; pass concise, spelling-corrected product/category nouns instead of vague natural-language intent.

## Output

Returns a list of Wirecutter product picks matching the query, including pick names, review titles, product categories, and optionally active purchase offers (prices, retailer links). Results are paginated via limit/offset.
