## 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 creator-desk-word-count-utility-ec5e63b9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you count the words in this paragraph for me: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog near the river bank'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, reliable, programmatic word count over a text string within an automated agent workflow and are comfortable with micropayment-per-call billing via x402. It is well-suited for pipelines that process content at scale or need word count as a discrete, auditable step without bundling it into a larger NLP service.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'value' field returns an error or zero count
- Non-string input types may cause unexpected results if not handled by the API
- Network or server errors from the Render-hosted service during cold starts
- Payment failure via x402 protocol if wallet balance or authorization is insufficient
- Malformed options object may cause a 400-level error
