## 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 arch-tools-transform-text-2ee591a4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Transform this text using the 'slug' mode: 'Hello World! This is my Blog Post Title'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-use programmatic text transformation without setting up your own NLP pipeline. Ideal for agents that need to reformat strings on the fly — such as slugifying titles, normalizing casing, or applying named text transformations — without spinning up heavy infrastructure. Prefer this over general-purpose LLM calls when the transformation is deterministic and repeatable.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'mode' or 'text' fields returns a 400 validation error
- Unsupported or unrecognized transformation mode may return an error or unexpected output
- Very long text inputs may be truncated or rejected
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) returns a 402 Payment Required response
