## 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-slug-generator-f6646983
```

Example prompt: Turn 'Héllo Wörld: A Beginner's Guide to Résumé Writing!' into a URL-safe slug, and keep it under 50 characters.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need reliable slug generation with proper Unicode/NFD normalization for accented characters and word-boundary-aware truncation, especially when handling multilingual or user-generated content titles that must become valid URL path segments.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' query parameter returns an error
- Non-numeric maxLength value may cause unexpected behavior
- Empty string input may return an empty or minimal slug
- Extremely long inputs without maxLength may produce very long slugs

## How this service works

Generate a URL-safe slug from any string. Handles accented characters (normalize NFD), replaces non-alphanumeric with hyphens, collapses and trims. Optional max-length with word-boundary truncation.

## Output

A lowercase, hyphen-separated, URL-safe slug string derived from the input text, with accented characters normalized and non-alphanumeric characters replaced, optionally truncated at a word boundary to the specified max length.
