## 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-bfa10f5b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you explain the following text to me in simple terms for a general audience, with a basic depth level: 'Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two particles become correlated such that the quantum state of each cannot be described independently of the other, even when separated by large distances.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to explain or simplify a piece of text for a specific audience or depth, especially within an agent workflow that already uses the Bolt utility toolkit on orbonomy.xyz. Prefer this over general LLM calls when you need a pay-per-use, structured API response with consistent formatting.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns a validation error
- Empty string for text may return an empty or error response
- Unsupported depth or audience values may produce unexpected output
- Service unavailable returns HTTP 402 if payment is not provided
- Overly long text may be truncated or refused
