## 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 agentshelf-ssn-redaction-150a18de -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you redact any SSN numbers from this text before I store it: 'John Doe applied with SSN 123-45-6789 and his co-applicant Jane used 987-65-4321'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs a stateless, pay-per-call SSN redaction with no data retention and a very low fixed cost ($0.008 USDC). Prefer the free sandbox at POST /v1/sandbox/redact-ssn for testing. Choose this over general PII redaction services when you specifically need SSN pattern matching and want guaranteed no-storage privacy semantics.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 100,000 character limit — request rejected with validation error
- Empty or missing text field — returns validation error
- Malformed JSON body — returns 400 bad request
- Payment of $0.008 USDC not provided or fails — returns 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout on large inputs near the character limit

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs ssn matches redacted in text. Nothing is stored. Exact $0.008 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/redact-ssn first.

## Output

Returns the input text with all SSN pattern matches replaced by redacted placeholders (e.g. [REDACTED] or similar masking). No data is stored server-side. The response contains the sanitized version of the submitted text.
