## 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 csv-tab-delimited-parser-c185b2b6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I have some tab-delimited text data — can you parse it into structured rows using tab as the delimiter? Here's the text: 'Name\tAge\tCity\nAlice\t30\tBerlin\nBob\t25\tZurich'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have text data that uses tabs as the field delimiter and you need it reliably parsed with tab forced as the separator — especially when the data may contain commas that would confuse a standard CSV parser. Prefer the free sandbox endpoint POST /v1/sandbox/csv-tab first to test; use this paid endpoint when the sandbox is unavailable or rate-limited.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns a validation error
- Text exceeding 100,000 characters is rejected
- Malformed input with inconsistent column counts may produce ragged rows
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 error
- Non-tab-delimited input (e.g. comma-delimited) will be parsed incorrectly as a single column

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs CSV parsed with a forced tab delimiter. Exact $0.006 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/csv-tab first.

## Output

Returns the parsed result of the tab-delimited input text as structured data — rows and columns split on tab characters — suitable for further processing or transformation into JSON or other formats.
