Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 agent402-tools-binary-text-converter-ff0f4b6a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you convert the text 'Hello World' to its binary representation — each character as 8-bit groups separated by spaces?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, deterministic, pure CPU text-to-binary or binary-to-text conversion without any external dependencies. Ideal for encoding/decoding ASCII text in 8-bit binary format in a single API call. Prefer this over custom code when you need a reliable, hosted, pay-per-call micro-service for binary encoding.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid binary string when decoding (e.g. non-0/1 characters or wrong bit count) may return an error or garbled output
- Empty text input returns an empty or error response
- Extremely long strings may hit payload limits
- Non-ASCII characters may not encode to standard 8-bit binary cleanly

## How this service works

Convert text to its binary (base-2) representation (8-bit per character, space-separated) or decode binary back to text. Deterministic, pure CPU.

## Output

Returns the input text encoded as space-separated 8-bit binary strings (one group per character), or when decode=true, returns the original text decoded from a space-separated binary input string.
