## 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-syntexa-ch-slug-hyphen-40-ascii-dcb85bdc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Turn 'Héllo Wörld! This is a test of slugification' into a URL slug — hyphen-separated, ASCII-folded, and no longer than 40 characters.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a deterministic, reproducible hyphenated slug that is strictly ASCII-folded and capped at 40 characters — especially useful for URL path segments, database keys, or filenames where length and charset constraints are hard requirements. Prefer the free sandbox endpoint (/v1/sandbox/slug-hyphen-40-ascii) for development or testing before paying $0.005 USDC per call on this production endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing text field returns a validation error
- Text that is entirely non-ASCII and non-slugifiable may return an empty or minimal slug
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC funds are insufficient
- Input exceeding 100,000 characters rejected by schema validation

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs a slug using "-", capped at 40 characters, ASCII-folded. Exact $0.005 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/slug-hyphen-40-ascii first.

## Output

Returns a slugified string: the input text ASCII-folded (accents and special characters converted to plain ASCII equivalents), lowercased, non-alphanumeric characters replaced with hyphens, consecutive hyphens collapsed, and the result truncated to a maximum of 40 characters.
