## 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 country-code-normalize-api-52e5ffc8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Normalize the country value 'United States of America' into its canonical ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call country code normalization utility that accepts arbitrary country name or code strings and returns a canonical ISO form. Ideal for agents doing data cleaning, form validation, or ETL pipelines where country identifiers are inconsistent. At $0.01 USDC per call via x402, it suits low-volume or ad-hoc normalization without requiring a self-hosted reference library.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or ambiguous country input returns an error or null result
- Missing 'value' field in request body causes a 400-level error
- Highly ambiguous abbreviations (e.g. 'GE' could be Georgia or Germany) may resolve to an unexpected canonical form
- Service unavailability on render.com cold start may cause timeout

## How this service works

Machine-callable x402-paid utilities for autonomous agents.

## Output

A JSON object containing a 'result' field with the normalized/canonical country code and an 'operation' field confirming 'country_code_normalize'. The result represents the standardized country identifier derived from the input value.
