## 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-8b9f1b40 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you explain this paragraph about quantum entanglement to me as if I'm a high school student? Depth should be introductory: 'Quantum entanglement occurs when two particles become linked such that the state of one instantly influences the state of the other, regardless of distance.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to generate a plain-language explanation of a piece of text, especially when you want to control the complexity level (depth) or target a specific audience type. It's ideal for breaking down technical jargon, complex documents, or dense passages for a given reader profile.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns a validation error
- Very long or unsupported text may cause processing failure
- Invalid depth or audience values may be ignored or cause errors
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 response before processing begins
