## 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 2s-text-redaction-api-dda0afdf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you redact all personal information from this text before I save it: 'John Smith called from 555-867-5309, his SSN is 123-45-6789 and he lives at 42 Maple Street, Springfield'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically strip PII or sensitive data from arbitrary free-form text before storing, logging, sharing, or analyzing it. Prefer this over manual regex-based approaches when the text contains varied PII types (names, phone numbers, emails, SSNs, addresses). Ideal for compliance workflows, data anonymization pipelines, and pre-processing steps before sending text to third-party services.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 256 KB limit — request rejected with payload too large error
- Empty or missing text field — returns validation error
- Ambiguous or context-dependent PII may not be fully detected — partial redaction possible
- Network timeout for very large documents near the size limit

## How this service works

The (most) everything API: 575+ pay-per-call endpoints for AI agents — ground-truth data, a full AI gateway, and agent infrastructure (storage, queues, watchers). USDC via x402, no signup, no API keys, and upto billing: pay actual usage, not the quote.

## Output

Returns the input text with sensitive entities (names, phone numbers, emails, SSNs, addresses, and other PII) replaced with redaction placeholders, leaving non-sensitive content intact.
