## 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-tabs-to-spaces-text-normalizer-8e941d3a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you normalize the indentation in this text by converting all tab characters to spaces: "	Hello
	World
		Nested"?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a deterministic, offline, LLM-free tab-to-spaces conversion and are willing to pay $0.007 USDC per call. If cost is a concern, prefer the free sandbox endpoint POST /v1/sandbox/norm-tabs-to-spaces first. Use this paid endpoint when the sandbox is unavailable or when production-grade reliability is required.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing text field returns a validation error
- Text exceeding 100,000 characters is rejected
- Payment of exactly $0.007 USDC must be included; insufficient payment results in a 402 error
- Network timeout if the service is temporarily unavailable

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs text normalized with tabs-to-spaces. No network and no LLM. Exact $0.007 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/norm-tabs-to-spaces first.

## Output

Returns the input text with all tab characters replaced by spaces, suitable for downstream processing, display, or storage. No markup or metadata — just the normalized string.
