## 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-strip-diacritics-normalizer-5e191941 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Strip all accent marks and diacritics from this text so it's plain ASCII: 'Héllo, wörld! Café crème naïveté Ångström.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic, offline diacritic-stripping operation with no LLM involvement and no network lookups — ideal for preprocessing text for ASCII-only systems, URL slugs, search indexes, or legacy databases. Prefer the free sandbox endpoint POST /v1/sandbox/norm-strip-diacritics for testing. Choose this paid endpoint for production workloads requiring guaranteed processing.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns a 400 validation error
- Text exceeding 100,000 characters is rejected with a 400 error
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC (requires exactly $0.002) results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Malformed JSON body returns a 400 parse error

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs text normalized with strip-diacritics. No network and no LLM. Exact $0.002 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/norm-strip-diacritics first.

## Output

Returns the input text with all diacritical marks removed, replacing accented characters (e.g. é→e, ü→u, ç→c, ñ→n) with their unaccented ASCII equivalents. The response preserves the original text structure, spacing, and non-accented characters unchanged.
