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 august-services-text-classifier-3476e0dd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Classify this support message as 'bug', 'feature-request', or 'billing' and tell me the confidence score and why: "I keep getting a 500 error when I try to check out."

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cheap, fast, deterministic per-item classification decision with an explainable confidence score and justification — ideal for routing, triage, moderation queues, and tagging pipelines where you supply your own label taxonomy. Prefer it over a full LLM prompt when you want structured, consistent JSON output with a confidence signal rather than a free-form answer.

## Known failure modes

- No labels provided — endpoint requires at least two candidate labels to classify between
- Text input is empty or missing — returns a validation error
- Label set contains only one option — classification is ambiguous or refused
- Very short or ambiguous text may return low confidence scores near 0.5
- Network or upstream LLM timeout causing a 5xx error
- Input text exceeds token limit for the underlying model

## How this service works

Classify text into one of the labels you provide, with a confidence score and a short justification. Useful for routing, triage, moderation queues and tagging pipelines where an agent needs a cheap deterministic decision per item.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with three fields: 'label' (the winning category from the labels you provided), 'confidence' (a float from 0 to 1 indicating certainty), and 'reason' (a short human-readable justification explaining why that label was chosen).
