## 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 bolt-explain-0725114b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you explain this paragraph to me in simple terms for a general audience, going into moderate depth: 'Transformer models use self-attention mechanisms to weigh the relevance of each token relative to all others in the input sequence, enabling parallelized training over long-range dependencies.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically generate plain-language explanations of complex or technical text, especially when audience tailoring and depth control are important. Prefer this over generic LLM prompts when you want a pay-per-use, no-subscription API call within an agentic workflow that supports x402 micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns a 400 validation error
- Text too long may cause timeout or truncation
- Invalid depth or audience values may produce generic output or an error
- Payment failure via x402 returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Service unavailability returns 503
