## 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-url-parser-bdf6005d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you break down 'https://example.com:8080/search?q=hello+world&lang=en#results' into all its parts — protocol, host, port, path, decoded query params, hash, and origin?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically decompose a URL into structured fields, especially when you need decoded query parameters or punycode hostname normalization. Prefer this over manual string splitting for reliable, standards-compliant URL parsing.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or non-URL string input returns an error
- Missing required 'url' field in request body returns validation error
- Relative URLs without a scheme may fail to parse correctly

## How this service works

Parse a URL into components: protocol, host, port, path, query params (decoded), hash, origin, punycode hostname.

## Output

Returns a structured breakdown of the URL with fields for protocol, host, port, path, decoded query parameters as key-value pairs, hash fragment, origin, and punycode-encoded hostname.
