Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-text-dash-normalizer-79459b1d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you normalize the dashes in this text so they're all consistent: 'The report — dated 2024–01–15 — covers Q1-Q4 results'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, deterministic, offline dash normalization without any AI or network dependency. It costs $0.003 USDC per call but a free sandbox endpoint (POST /v1/sandbox/norm-dashes) should be preferred first if available. Best suited for preprocessing pipelines where consistent dash characters are required before further text processing.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing text field returns a validation error
- Text exceeding 100,000 characters is rejected
- Malformed JSON request body returns a 400 error
- Payment failure (x402) if the $0.003 USDC payment is not correctly attached

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs text normalized with dashes. No network and no LLM. Exact $0.003 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/norm-dashes first.

## Output

Returns the input text with dashes normalized to a consistent form. No external network calls are made and no LLM is involved, so the transformation is deterministic and fast.
