## 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-pii-redaction-b081309c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you redact all the sensitive info from this text — emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit card numbers, and IPs — and tell me how many of each type were found: 'Contact John at john@example.com or 555-123-4567, his SSN is 123-45-6789 and card is 4111-1111-1111-1111.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to sanitize free-form text of multiple PII types in a single call and want a count summary by type — ideal for pre-processing user submissions, logs, or documents before storage or sharing.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'text' field returns an error
- Text too large may be rejected or truncated
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC is not provided
- No PII found returns original text with zero counts

## How this service works

Mask emails, phone numbers, credit-card-like numbers, IPs, and SSNs in text. Returns the redacted text and counts by type.

## Output

Returns the redacted version of the input text with sensitive values replaced by masked placeholders, along with a breakdown of counts for each PII type detected (email, phone, credit card, IP, SSN).
