## 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-b3cd3818 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you explain this paragraph about quantum entanglement to me at a deep technical depth, written for an audience of physics graduate students: 'Quantum entanglement describes a phenomenon where two particles become correlated such that the quantum state of each cannot be described independently of the other'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an AI-generated explanation or simplification of a piece of text with control over both explanation depth and target audience. Particularly useful when the calling agent needs on-demand, pay-per-use text interpretation without managing a separate LLM subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns validation error
- Empty text string may produce unhelpful or error response
- Invalid depth or audience values may default or fail silently
- Payment failure via x402 prevents endpoint access
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded on the underlying AI provider
- Very long text may exceed token limits
