## Definitions

### `garden.lexicon.browse`

**Type**: `query`

Browse indexed lexicons whose NSID begins with a segment-aligned prefix. Segment-aligned means 'community.lexicon' matches 'community.lexicon.foo' but not 'community.lexiconfoo'. Results are sorted by NSID ascending.

#### Parameters

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `limit` | `integer` | No |  |
| `cursor` | `string` | No | Opaque pagination cursor from a prior response. |
| `prefix` | `string` (nsid) | Yes | NSID prefix, one or more dot-separated segments. Matches are segment-aligned. |
| `lexiconType` | `string` | No | Filter by lexicon definition type. Omit to include all types. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `cursor` | `string` | No |  |
| `lexicons` | `array` | Yes |  |

#### Errors

- **InvalidPrefix**: Prefix is not a valid NSID segment sequence.
- **InvalidCursor**: Cursor is malformed or does not decode.
