## 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 datavault-explain-ai-powered-text-explanation-a9e6702d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you explain this paragraph to me like I'm a college student with no technical background? Here's the text: 'Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when a group of particles are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in such a way that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others.' Keep the depth at a basic introductory level.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-powered natural language explanation of arbitrary text, especially when you want to control depth (beginner vs expert) and audience. Useful for educational tools, document summarizers, or content accessibility pipelines that need pay-per-call pricing with USDC on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns a validation error
- Empty text input may return a generic or low-quality explanation
- Unsupported depth or audience values may be silently ignored or cause unexpected output
- Very long text inputs may be truncated or rejected
- Service may return success:false with no explanation data if the AI processing fails
- Network or payment failure (x402) results in a 402 status without processing
